Frequently Asked Questions
Is the gold rate the same in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah? +
Yes. The base gold metal rate is uniform across all seven emirates of the UAE because it is pegged directly to the international spot market (XAU/USD) converted via the fixed UAE Dirham exchange rate of 3.6725. However, individual jewellery shops may offer slightly different making charges and discount promotions.
Which gold karat is best to buy in the UAE? +
For pure investment, 24K (99.9% pure) bars and coins are ideal due to zero making charges and maximum resale value. For wearable jewellery with rich yellow color and high durability, 22K (91.67%) is the South Asian standard, while 21K (87.5%) is preferred for Arabic and Middle Eastern designs. 18K (75%) is best for stone-studded, white gold, and diamond jewellery.
How is 1 tola calculated in the UAE? +
In the UAE, 1 tola is standardized to exactly 11.6638038 grams (or 3/8 troy ounce). To find the tola price, multiply the per-gram rate of any karat by 11.6638.
