Gold Price by City in United Arab Emirates
The base spot rate is identical across United Arab Emirates. Retail premiums (making charges) vary by city and by shop.
Dubai is consistently ranked among the cheapest places to buy gold globally. Key reasons: zero import duty on gold (unlike India's 6%), no VAT on investment-grade gold, and low VAT of 5% on gold jewelry making charges. The fixed AED/USD peg of 3.67 eliminates currency risk premiums that inflate gold prices in other markets.
