Gold Rate in Fujairah Today – Live Price per Gram on the East Coast

Gold rate today in Fujairah per gram

The table updates on its own while the page is open. Use the unit switch to see the rate per 10 grams, per tola for the many South Asian residents who think in that unit, or per ounce.

Fujairah's jewellers take the same daily retail rate that the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group publishes, because the wholesalers who supply them in Dubai and Sharjah trade on it. The rate moves with the US dollar price of gold on world markets, and since the dirham is pegged at 3.6725 to the dollar, every move in New York or London shows up in Fujairah to the fil. A karat's rate is simply the pure gold price multiplied by its purity: 91.6% for 22K, 87.5% for 21K, 75% for 18K. The figures here are indicative and the shop's own board at the time of sale is what goes on the invoice. For the mechanism in detail, read how the Dubai gold rate is set, and for the national board with a chart and calculator on one screen, see the gold rate in Dubai today.

What you pay on top of the rate on the East Coast

Nobody buys gold at the gram rate. A finished piece costs the metal value plus the shop's making charge for the labour, plus 5% VAT on the whole invoice. On the East Coast the making charge deserves attention for a specific reason: Fujairah's shops are supplied from the wholesale workshops of Dubai and Sharjah, so pieces travel further and the shops sell fewer of them. Labour on common designs can therefore be a little higher than you would be quoted in a Deira lane, though the difference is small on plain chains and rings and larger on elaborate sets.

How much does 10 grams cost today?

Rather than guess, put the weight into the calculator and it will give you the metal value for any karat at the live rate. Whatever a shop quotes above that figure is labour, stones and VAT.

When you compare, ask every shop for the labour per gram rather than a total, and ask whether it includes stones. Our guide to making charges gives typical ranges by type of piece so that you can tell a fair quote from a high one.

Fujairah gold souk and the city-centre jewellers

Fujairah does not have a dedicated gold lane on the scale of Deira or Sharjah's Central Souk. Instead, the gold trade sits inside and around the main souk and market area of Fujairah city and along the central commercial streets, where a row of jewellers serves both the Emirati families of the emirate and the large Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Filipino workforce of the port, the free zone and the oil-storage terminals. The shops are modest in size, stock a mix of 21K Gulf designs and 22K South Asian styles, and tend to know their customers by name.

What to expect on a visit:

• Rate boards are displayed, but ask for the figure anyway; smaller shops sometimes update the board later than the chains.
• Stock is narrower than in Dubai. If you want a specific bridal design, ask whether the shop can order it from its Dubai supplier, which usually takes a few days.
• Most shops buy old gold as well as sell it, which is handy for an exchange: trading in an old bangle against a new one at the day's rate minus a small margin.
• Friday openings are typically in the afternoon, as elsewhere in the UAE; check before you drive in.

If you are weighing the souk against a mall showroom, the gold shop near me page explains the trade-offs between independent shops and chains.

City Centre Fujairah and the mall showrooms

City Centre Fujairah is where the national jewellery chains have their East Coast branches, alongside the mall's supermarkets and cinemas. For many families it is the default: parking, air conditioning, card payment, a printed rate card, fixed and transparent making charges, and the same promotions that the brand runs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Chain showrooms are also the simplest place in Fujairah to buy a small 24K bar or a coin as savings, which carries no VAT, and to get a buy-back quote on jewellery you bought from the same brand elsewhere in the UAE.

The chain showrooms do not negotiate on the published rate or their standard labour, so the way to save money there is timing: making-charge discounts around Diwali, Eid and Onam, and occasional zero-labour offers on selected lines. The independent souk shops, by contrast, will discuss labour with a regular customer. A sensible routine for a bigger purchase is to price the piece at a chain first, then take the weight and karat to one or two independents and ask them to beat the labour. The jewellers guide compares the main chains, and the how to buy gold checklist applies just as well here.

Khor Fakkan, Kalba and Dibba: buying along the coast

The East Coast is a string of towns, and residents do not always need to drive to Fujairah city. Khor Fakkan, with its port and growing population, has its own small cluster of jewellers near the souk and corniche area; Kalba, to the south, has a handful serving the town and the farms inland; and Dibba Al Fujairah, at the northern end near the Musandam border, has a few shops aimed at local families and weekend visitors. All of them quote the national rate shown on this page, and all are supplied from the same Dubai and Sharjah workshops, so the choice is about convenience and the individual shop rather than the price of the metal.

Two practical notes. Khor Fakkan and Kalba are enclaves of the Emirate of Sharjah, not Fujairah, but that makes no difference to the gold rate or to VAT, which are federal. And because stock in these towns is limited, residents who want to compare several designs usually combine a trip to Fujairah city with the weekly shopping, or wait for a Dubai visit for a large wedding order. Sellers in Khor Fakkan or Kalba should get a Fujairah quote as well before accepting an offer on a heavy piece; the extra half hour of driving is often worth it.

When is it worth driving to Dubai or Sharjah for gold?

The road over the Hajar mountains takes most East Coast families to Dubai or Sharjah every few weeks anyway, and gold is often on the shopping list. The honest answer is that the drive changes nothing about the metal price and only sometimes changes the total. For a single chain, a pair of earrings or a ring, Fujairah's shops are competitive once you factor in fuel, time and the temptation to buy more in a bigger souk. For a full bridal set, a large quantity of bangles or an investment purchase of bars, the sheer number of shops in Deira and in the Sharjah Central Souk means lower labour quotes and more designs to choose from.

If you do go, carry the weight and karat of the piece you priced in Fujairah so you are comparing like with like, check the recent price history so a big move in the rate does not get mistaken for a better deal, and read the Dubai Gold Souk guide for the metro stops and opening hours. Neighbouring Ras Al Khaimah is another option for residents of Dibba and the northern coast.

Selling gold, VAT and gold as savings in Fujairah

Selling follows the same rule everywhere in the UAE: a buyer weighs and tests the piece, then pays the day's rate for the karat less a margin, and the making charge you originally paid is gone. In Fujairah the margin can be wider than in Dubai because there are fewer buyers, so get two quotes, bring the original invoice if you have it, and bring your Emirates ID, which buyers record for every transaction. For a detailed walk-through of testing, haggling and payment, see how to sell gold in Dubai.

Many East Coast families, particularly those sending money home, treat gold as a savings pot: small 24K bars or 22K coins bought each payday and sold or carried home later. If that is your plan, the gold bars price page explains the premiums on small sizes, and the customs limits for India page covers what you can take back. None of this is financial advice; gold prices fall as well as rise.
