What is a Bhori? (ভরি)
In Bangladesh, gold is traditionally measured in bhori (also spelled vori or tola). One bhori = 11.664 grams. When shopping in Dubai, gold is priced per gram in AED, so knowing this conversion is essential:
- 1 bhori = 11.664 grams
- Price per bhori in AED = price per gram × 11.664
Is Gold Cheaper in Dubai Than Bangladesh?
Yes, significantly cheaper. Here is why:
- Bangladesh imposes import duties and VAT on gold — the government levies duties that push retail prices up
- Dubai has no import duty on gold and investment gold is VAT-free
- Market competition — Dubai's Gold Souk has hundreds of competing jewellers, keeping prices at near-spot rates
- Making charges in Dubai are 2–8% vs 10–20% in Dhaka jewellery shops
The price difference is typically 15–25% cheaper in Dubai compared to Bangladesh on an equivalent weight basis.
How Much Gold Can You Bring from Dubai to Bangladesh?
Bangladesh customs rules for incoming gold:
- Gold jewellery worn on person — generally not taxed for personal use
- Up to 100 grams of gold jewellery — allowed duty-free per person (approximate guideline, verify current rules)
- Gold bars/coins — subject to strict import regulations; may require prior approval from Bangladesh Bank
- Commercial quantity — anything appearing to be for resale is subject to customs duties and may be confiscated
Important: Bangladesh customs rules change. Always verify with Bangladesh Customs (NBR) before travelling with large amounts of gold.
Best Gold to Buy in Dubai for Bangladeshis
22K Jewellery (Most Practical)
22K (916 hallmark) gold jewellery is the most widely used karat in Bangladesh. Buying 22K jewellery in Dubai's Gold Souk and bringing it home for personal use or as gifts is the most common approach.
21K Gold
Also recognised and used in Bangladesh. Slightly lower price per gram than 22K.
Small Gold Bars (for investment)
5g and 10g bars can be carried as personal luggage if within the customs allowance. Investment grade gold (24K bars) is VAT-free in Dubai.
Where to Buy Gold in Dubai as a Bangladeshi Buyer
- Dubai Gold Souk, Deira — best prices, Bangla-speaking staff at many shops
- Meena Bazaar area, Bur Dubai — many South Asian jewellers with competitive prices
- Malabar Gold & Diamonds — transparent pricing, popular with South Asian community
- Dubai Duty-Free — slightly higher prices but convenient for airport purchases
Sending Gold Value Back to Bangladesh
Instead of carrying physical gold, many UAE-based Bangladeshis prefer to send remittances and let family buy gold in Bangladesh. However, this means paying the Bangladesh premium. For large amounts, buying physical gold in Dubai and carrying within the customs limit is financially more advantageous.
