Why the shop price is higher

The big number comes from the world price and the exchange rate. In the souk you will also see:

Making charge: This is the part you can negotiate, so ask for it per gram before you pay.

VAT: 5% on jewellery.

The Dubai board rate: It can differ slightly from this calculation because it is set locally.

Common questions

What is the gold rate in Dubai today for 22 carat?

The calculated 22K value is 446.78 AED per gram right now, before the making charge and VAT. See the 22K rate page for the per-tola figure and the chart.

What is the gold rate in Dubai today in Indian rupees?

The Dubai gold rate page converts the current value into Indian rupees per gram at the live exchange rate. It is a calculated international value, so a shop's board rate can differ slightly.

How much gold can I carry from Dubai to India?

A resident or tourist of Indian origin who has lived abroad for more than one year can bring jewellery duty-free up to 40 g if female and 20 g otherwise, under the Baggage Rules, 2026. Read the full Dubai to India limits before you fly, because other passengers and bars or coins are treated differently.

Is there VAT on gold in Dubai?

Yes, 5% on jewellery, charged on the gold value and making charge together. Investment gold of at least 99% purity in a form tradeable on bullion markets is zero-rated, and the gold calculator adds VAT for you.
