Sharjah Gold Rate Today

The gold rate in Sharjah today is the same as the gold rate across the UAE. Gold prices in the UAE are set daily by the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group (DGJG) and apply uniformly to all emirates including Sharjah. Today’s rates are shown in the table above in AED per gram for 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold.

The main gold shopping area in Sharjah is the Sharjah Central Souk, commonly known as the Blue Souk or Sharjah Blue Market, located near Al Zahia district close to the Sharjah-Dubai border. The Blue Souk has two towers of jewellery and gold shops. There is also a traditional Gold Souk near the Heritage Area (Al Arsah Souk) in the heart of old Sharjah.

The base gold rate is identical throughout the UAE. However, Sharjah gold souk shops traditionally have lower making charges than Dubai’s tourist-heavy Gold Souk in Deira. Because Sharjah has a lower cost of operation and smaller tourist footfall, retailers often offer lower craftsmanship fees. This can result in 5–15% savings on the total jewellery price compared to Dubai mall stores.

The Sharjah Blue Souk (Central Market) is known for a wide selection of traditional Arabic and Gulf-style gold jewellery, particularly 21K pieces with intricate designs. It is also popular for silver jewellery and Omani-style pieces. The souk is popular with UAE residents from Sharjah and nearby Ajman who prefer lower-pressure shopping than Dubai’s Gold Souk.

Yes, the same UAE-wide 5% VAT applies to gold jewellery in Sharjah. Investment gold (bars and coins with 99% purity or higher) is VAT-exempt. Tourists departing from Sharjah International Airport can claim VAT refunds on qualifying purchases. Keep original receipts from registered retailers.
