Dubai gold rate per gram and what jewellery costs
Gold in Dubai stands at AED 518.11 per gram for 24K, as of September 2026, up 0.08 percent on the previous reading of AED 517.71. That is a move of AED 0.40 a gram across 25 readings in a single day.
What the rate means in real amounts
- Dubai - 1 gram of 24K - AED 518.11. The published rate, before any making charge.
- Dubai - 10 grams of 24K - AED 5,181.10. The metal content alone, and the number to hold against a shop quote.
- Dubai - 50 grams of 24K - AED 25,905.50. Five times the previous line, because the metal price is linear and only the workmanship is negotiable.
- Dubai - 100 grams of 24K - AED 51,811. Slightly more than seven months of rent on a two bedroom in Deira at AED 7,083 a month, since seven months come to AED 49,581.
- Daily movement - 25 readings in one day - AED 0.40 per gram, or AED 40 across 100 grams. On this reading day, timing the purchase by hours changed almost nothing.
Why the shop price is never the rate
The quoted rate covers the metal only, and jewellery is sold at that rate plus a making charge that the shop sets, not the market. The workable method in the Gold Souk in Deira is to fix two numbers separately before anyone mentions a total: the per gram rate for the karat you are buying, and the making charge, then multiply the weight yourself. Because AED 518.11 is the 24K rate, a piece in a lower karat is priced off a different per gram number, so asking for the rate today without naming the karat produces quotes that cannot be compared.
