Understanding Gold Price Per Gram in Dubai

The gold price per gram in Dubai is one of the most searched metrics for travellers and investors from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Dubai calculates gold prices on a per-gram basis (unlike Western markets which use troy ounces), making it easy to compare across karat levels.

The Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group (DGJG) publishes official benchmark rates twice daily — at market open (around 9 AM GST) and at noon. Retail shops must display these rates and may add a small premium. By law, all gold sold in Dubai must be hallmarked with the correct karat stamp.

FAQs — Gold Price Per Gram Dubai

What is the gold price per gram in Dubai today (May 12, 2026)?

▼
Today's Dubai gold price per gram is shown in the table above for all karats. 24K (pure gold) commands the highest per-gram price. 22K (the most popular jewellery karat) is approximately 91.67% of the 24K price. All gram rates are derived from the international gold spot price converted at AED 3.6725 per USD.

How is the gold price per gram calculated in Dubai?

▼
Gold price per gram in Dubai = (International spot price in USD/troy oz ÷ 31.1035) × 3.6725 × karat purity. For 22K: multiply 24K gram price by 0.9167. The AED/USD rate is pegged at 3.6725. Retail shops may add a small markup of AED 2–10/gram over the DGJG rate.

Why does Dubai gold price per gram differ from India?

▼
Dubai gold is priced at the international spot rate with minimal markup. India adds 10-15% import duty + 3% GST on top of the international price, making Indian gold 13–18% more expensive than Dubai prices. This is why millions of travellers buy gold in Dubai each year.

What is the cheapest karat gold per gram in Dubai?

▼
18K gold has the lowest AED price per gram because it is only 75% pure gold. However, the lower price does not mean better value — you are getting less gold per gram. 24K gives you the most gold per gram. For investment purposes, 24K per gram is the most efficient way to buy gold in Dubai.

Is there a minimum gram you must buy in Dubai Gold Souk?

▼
No minimum. You can buy as little as 1 gram of gold in Dubai — small 1g gold wafers and medallions are sold at most jewellery shops. For investment purposes, 10g gold bars offer a reasonable balance between cost and premium over spot. 100g and 1kg bars have the lowest premiums.
