Dubai Gold Prices Today: 10 November 2026 Rates
The Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group sets the reference rates that shops across the UAE follow. The group publishes its rates twice a day, based on the global spot price converted into dirhams at the fixed rate of Dh3.6725 per US dollar. The table below shows the morning board rates for Tuesday, 10 November 2026, next to Monday’s closing rates.
| Karat | Purity | Today (Dh per gram) | Monday close (Dh per gram) | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | 99.9% | 495.75 | 497.25 | -1.50 |
| 22K | 91.6% | 459.00 | 460.50 | -1.50 |
| 21K | 87.5% | 440.25 | 441.50 | -1.25 |
| 18K | 75.0% | 377.25 | 378.50 | -1.25 |
| 14K | 58.5% | 294.25 | 295.25 | -1.00 |
The same board rate applies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the other emirates. Shops use it as the base gold value. The final price you pay adds the making charge and 5% VAT on the making charge, so two shops can quote different totals for the same piece.
Globally, spot gold was trading at $4,114.53 per ounce at 9:05am UAE time on Tuesday, up 0.21% on the day. Prices can move again during the day, so check the board once more before you buy.
Gold Rates Per Tola: 10 November 2026
Many buyers in the UAE still think in tolas, especially shoppers from India and Pakistan. One tola equals 11.664 grams. The table below converts today’s per-gram board rates into per-tola prices.
| Karat | Per gram (Dh) | Per 10 grams (Dh) | Per tola (Dh) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | 495.75 | 4,957.50 | 5,782.33 |
| 22K | 459.00 | 4,590.00 | 5,353.78 |
| 21K | 440.25 | 4,402.50 | 5,135.08 |
| 18K | 377.25 | 3,772.50 | 4,400.24 |
| 14K | 294.25 | 2,942.50 | 3,432.13 |
A 10-gram 24K coin or bar costs Dh4,957.50 at today’s board rate, before any premium or making charge. A full ounce of 24K gold (31.1035 grams) is Dh15,420 on the board. Remember that these are gold-only values. A jeweller adds the making charge, which depends on the design, and then 5% VAT on that charge.
Silver Prices Today: 10 November 2026
Silver is also drawing attention from UAE buyers. The Khaleej Times silver board shows 999 fine silver at Dh7,435 per kilo on 10 November 2026, which works out to about Dh7.44 per gram. The rate is unchanged from yesterday.
On the global market, spot silver was trading at $53.13 per ounce at 9:05am UAE time, up 0.76% on the day. Silver has had a strong run this year, and its lower price per gram makes it an easier entry point for new buyers than gold. Even so, silver is more volatile than gold, so its price can swing further in a single day.
Why Gold Prices Eased Today
Gold rose sharply on Monday, 9 November, when the 24K rate opened at Dh496.75, up Dh6.25 from Dh490.50 over the weekend. Softer oil prices eased inflation worries, and a sharp fall in AI technology shares pushed investors towards gold. By the close of Monday, the 24K board rate had reached Dh497.25.
Tuesday’s small pullback fits that pattern. After a strong run, some traders take profits, and the price settles a little lower. Analysts also point to easing geopolitical tensions in the region, which can reduce demand for gold as a safe haven. Naeem Aslam, chief investment officer at Zaye Capital Markets, has noted that calmer regional news tends to take some heat out of the gold market.
Investors are now watching the US consumer price index report, due later on Tuesday, followed by producer price data on Friday. Both reports can move the dollar and the gold price. A softer inflation reading usually supports gold, while a stronger reading can push it down. For that reason, today’s rates may not be the rates you see tomorrow.
Gold Price Trend Over the Last Two Weeks
The bigger picture is still one of strong gains. The 24K rate has risen Dh22.50 per gram in a single week, according to Khaleej Times. Just over a week ago, on 2 November, 24K gold was selling at Dh470.25 per gram. Today’s rate of Dh495.75 is Dh25.50 higher than that level.
The table below tracks the 24K board rate over recent days, using the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group figures reported by Khaleej Times and Gulf News.
| Date | 24K (Dh per gram) | 22K (Dh per gram) | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 November | 470.25 | 435.50 | Week started near recent lows |
| 7 November | 490.50 | 454.25 | Rate steady over the weekend |
| 9 November (open) | 496.75 | 460.00 | Up Dh6.25 as inflation worries eased |
| 9 November (close) | 497.25 | 460.50 | Strong close after Diwali demand |
| 10 November | 495.75 | 459.00 | Down Dh1.50 in a mild pullback |
Diwali fell on 8 November this year, and festive buying added to demand over the weekend. Gold often sees extra buying around Diwali, when many families buy jewellery as part of the festival. That seasonal demand helped push the rate to its Monday high.
Buying Gold in Dubai: Practical Tips
Dubai is known as the City of Gold for good reason. Competition between shops is strong, making charges are often lower than in other markets, and tourists can claim a VAT refund on their purchases. A little preparation still helps you get a fair deal.
Check the board rate first
Look up the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group rate before you visit a shop. The board rate is the gold value only. If a shop quotes a per-gram price far above the board, ask why. Some shops add a premium to the gold value itself, while others keep the gold value at the board rate and charge only for making.
Understand making charges
The making charge pays for the work of turning raw gold into jewellery. It is often a flat amount per gram rather than a percentage of the gold value. Simple designs cost less to make than detailed ones. Ask for the making charge per gram in writing before you agree to buy, and compare it across two or three shops in the Gold Souq.
Ask about VAT
VAT of 5% applies to the making charge on gold jewellery in the UAE. Some shops quote a price that already includes VAT, while others add it at the till. Ask for the full final price, including VAT, so you can compare shops fairly. Tourists should also ask about the VAT refund process, which is available at the airport for eligible purchases.
Check the purity and hallmark
Always confirm the karat before you pay. 24K gold is 99.9% pure, 22K is 91.6% pure, 21K is 87.5% pure and 18K is 75% pure. Reputable shops in Dubai stamp the karat on the piece and give you a receipt that states the weight and purity. If a deal looks far cheaper than the board rate, check the purity carefully.
Keep your receipt and certificate
Keep the receipt, the weight certificate and any purity certificate. They make resale much easier. Most Dubai jewellers will buy back gold they sold, but they usually pay the board rate minus a small margin. A clear receipt with the weight and karat avoids arguments later.
Gold as an Investment vs Jewellery
Gold jewellery and gold bars serve different purposes. Jewellery is for wearing, and part of what you pay goes to the design and the making. Bars and coins are for holding value, and they carry a much smaller premium over the board rate. If your main goal is to hold gold as savings, a bar or a coin usually gives you more gold for your money.
Long-term buyers often add small amounts of gold regularly instead of trying to time the market. That approach smooths out the ups and downs. It does not guarantee a profit, and gold prices can fall as well as rise, but it avoids the risk of buying everything at a single peak. This article is general information, not investment advice.
What to Watch Next
Three things will shape Dubai gold prices in the coming days. The first is the US inflation data due this week, which can move the dollar and the global gold price. The second is the direction of oil prices, which affects inflation expectations in the region. The third is regional news, since any rise in tension tends to lift safe-haven demand for gold.
Closer to home, the wedding season and the winter tourist season can add to jewellery demand in Dubai. If you plan a large purchase, check the board rate each morning and set a price in mind before you shop. A small dip like today’s Dh1.50 fall is a reminder that prices move both ways.
