About GoldUAE
GoldUAE is an independent information site about gold in the United Arab Emirates: today's rate, where to buy and sell, how prices are built and how to invest.
Where the prices come from
The live board converts the international spot price of gold (US dollars per troy ounce) into dirhams at the official peg of 3.6725 and into per-karat gram prices using the standard purities (999, 916, 875 and 750). The spot price is read from a free public market-data API and refreshed every couple of minutes while a page is open. A daily close is stored automatically every evening to build the history chart, with no manual intervention.
Retail rates published by the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group and displayed in shops follow the same spot price and normally sit within a dirham or two of our figure. We do not sell gold, we do not take commissions from jewellers and we do not publish advertising disguised as advice.
Editorial standards
Every guide is written for people living in or visiting the UAE, checked against official sources such as the Federal Tax Authority and Dubai Customs where rules are quoted, and reviewed when rules change. Where we cannot verify a detail, such as a shop's opening hours, we say so and advise checking before you travel. Nothing on this site is financial advice; gold prices rise and fall and past performance does not predict the future.
