What gold bullion is, and why Dubai matters
Gold bullion is gold in its investment form: bars and coins whose value comes from the metal they contain. A 100 g bar of 999.9 gold contains 99.99 g of pure gold, and its value moves with the international gold price every minute of the trading day.
Dubai is one of the busiest gold markets in the world. That means wide choice, strong competition between dealers and some of the lowest premiums on bars anywhere. It also means many offers to compare, which is where a clear reference price helps.

Buying gold: bars and coins at today’s value
Each card shows the value of the gold in a bar at today’s spot price. A dealer’s selling price adds a premium for refining, minting and supply, which is smaller per gram on larger bars.

Selling gold: how offers are calculated
When you sell, a buyer starts from the same live price and deducts a margin for testing, handling and resale:
fine gold weight × live price − buyer’s margin
Sealed bars from recognised refiners get the smallest margins. Use the gold value calculator to know your reference value, then read sell gold in Dubai and the selling rate today.

Frequently asked questions
What is gold bullion?
Gold bullion is investment gold: bars and coins valued mainly by their weight and purity. Jewellery is different, because its price includes design and making charges.
How is the gold bullion price in Dubai set?
It follows the international spot price in US dollars per troy ounce, converted at the fixed rate of 3.6725 AED per USD. Dealers then add a premium when they sell and deduct a margin when they buy.
Is the gold price the same in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah?
The reference price is the same across the UAE. Differences between shops come from their premiums, margins and stock.
How often is the price on this site updated?
Automatically, about every minute while the page is open. The time of the last quote is shown next to the prices.
Is there VAT on gold bullion in the UAE?
Investment gold of at least 99% purity, such as 999.9 bars, is generally zero-rated for VAT. Gold jewellery carries the standard 5% VAT. See the buying FAQ.
Does this site sell or buy gold?
No. Gold Bullion is an information site. It shows live reference prices and explains how to buy and sell with dealers in the UAE.
