Why is gold cheaper in Dubai?
Dubai's gold market is famously competitive — low import duties, zero income tax, zero-rated VAT on investment-grade bullion, and high trading volume push retailer margins down. The city handles roughly a quarter of the world's physical gold trade, which concentrates liquidity and tightens spreads.
The Dubai Gold Souk in Deira is the most well-known retail destination, but Gold & Diamond Park on Sheikh Zayed Road and dozens of shopping mall outlets also trade at the same underlying rate.
How gold prices are set in Dubai
Prices are fixed twice daily by the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group, which takes the London spot price in USD, converts at the pegged AED/USD rate (3.6725), and publishes per-gram rates for each major carat. Retailers add their own making charges on top.
The rate shown above reflects the published fix and updates every 5 minutes throughout the trading day.

Is gold cheaper in Dubai than in India or Saudi Arabia?

Gold in Dubai is usually cheaper than in India due to India's higher import duty and GST, and roughly in line with Saudi Arabia. Most of Dubai's price advantage comes from zero-rated VAT on investment-grade bullion and highly competitive making charges at the Dubai Gold Souk.
Where is the cheapest place to buy gold in Dubai?

Gold & Diamond Park is a good alternative with modern showrooms and comparable prices. All licensed dealers use the same base rate — the difference is only in making charges.
