What is 24K gold?
24 karat gold is the purest form of gold commercially available, containing 99.9% pure gold with a fineness mark of 999. Because it is so soft, 24K is rarely used for everyday jewelry — instead it is the standard for investment products like bars and coins sold at the Dubai Gold Souk and licensed bullion dealers across the UAE.
If you see a piece stamped 999 or 24K, it should be priced against the live 24K rate shown above, plus any making charges and 5% VAT that apply at the point of sale.
How is the 24K price set in the UAE?
UAE gold prices are driven primarily by the London spot price (quoted in USD per troy ounce), the AED/USD exchange rate (pegged at 3.6725), and the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group's twice-daily fix. Retailers add their own making charges on top of the base 24K rate.
The rate on this page reflects the published per-gram 24K rate and updates every 5 minutes throughout the trading day.
Should you buy 24K or 22K?
For investment, 24K is the standard — you pay for pure gold with minimal premium and can resell closer to spot. For wearable jewelry, 22K is far more durable and is the most popular choice for UAE bridal gold and gifting, while 21K and 18K are common for daily-wear and designer pieces.
