Ujrah is the Arabic term for making charges — the retailer's fee for crafting the jewelry piece. The gold spot rate shown on this page is fixed by international markets and cannot be negotiated. What is negotiable is the Ujrah. At Souq Waqif Gold Market, making charges typically range QAR 4–14 per gram. Larger purchases (above 20 grams) give you stronger negotiating leverage. Knowing today's spot rate — shown above — before entering any shop is the single most important preparation for getting a fair price.
The base gold rate is identical across every licensed retailer in Doha — all shops convert from the same international USD spot price at the fixed QAR/USD rate of 3.64. What varies between shops is the Ujrah (making charge). This is why comparing making charges across 2–3 retailers before buying is worthwhile, especially for larger purchases.
