22K gold in Dubai explained for Sri Lanka buyers

Gold prices in the UAE are set centrally by the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group, which publishes a twice-daily fix based on the London spot price converted at the pegged AED/USD rate of 3.6725. The same base rate applies to every licensed retailer across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah — only the making charges differ from shop to shop. This page converts that live rate into Sri Lankan Rupees using the current AED to LKR exchange rate.

In the UAE, investment-grade gold of 99% purity or higher (24K bars and coins) is zero-rated for VAT, and only the making charge on jewelry is subject to 5% VAT — the underlying gold value is not. This tax treatment, combined with zero import duty and highly competitive making charges at the Dubai Gold Souk, is why many Sri Lanka buyers and expats travel to the UAE specifically for gold purchases.

Remember: the rate shown on this page is the base gold value. A finished piece of jewelry will cost the base value plus a per-gram making charge (مصنعية) — typically AED 10–80 per gram for machine-made pieces and much higher for handmade or designer work. Ask the shop to itemize the making charge before you buy so you can compare honestly across retailers.
