The 1kg bar — institutional gold
1kg (32.15 troy oz) is the standard institutional bar size — banks, sovereign wealth funds, and large private buyers transact in 1kg increments. At this weight, the premium over spot is typically 0.5-2%, the lowest of any retail-accessible weight. Dubai handles roughly a quarter of the world's physical gold trade, so 1kg bars from PAMP Suisse, Valcambi, Emirates Gold, and Credit Suisse are readily available and liquid.
For private investors, 1kg is a serious commitment — a single bar at current rates is a significant AED total. But for portfolio gold allocations or wealth preservation, it's the most efficient weight to hold and the easiest to resell without fragmenting.
Frequently Asked Questions
The live price of 1 kilogram of gold in Dubai is shown at the top of this page in AED for 24K, 22K, 21K, 18K, and 14K. It is calculated from the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group's live per-gram fix multiplied by 1000 grams.
Dubai has zero import duty and zero-rated VAT on investment-grade gold (99%+ purity). Making charges at the Dubai Gold Souk are also highly competitive. The savings vs other countries grow with weight — the larger the piece, the bigger the absolute saving on tax and duty.
Making charges in Dubai typically range from AED 10 to AED 80 per gram for machine-made pieces, and significantly higher for handmade or designer work. On 1 kilogram, that's roughly AED 10000 to AED 80000 depending on the piece and shop.
Investment-grade gold of 99% purity or higher (24K bars and coins) is zero-rated for UAE VAT — so 1 kilogram of 24K investment gold is VAT-free. Jewelry attracts 5% VAT but only on the making charge, not on the underlying gold value.
