Dubai Gold Prices Today: 14 November 2026 Rates
The Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group publishes the official board rate for the UAE. Jewellers across the country use this rate as the base price. The table below shows today’s rates per gram and per tola. One tola equals 11.664 grams.
| Gold type | Price per gram | Price per tola | Change from Friday |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K (99.9% pure) | Dh468.00 | Dh5,459 | Down Dh1.50 |
| 22K (91.6% pure) | Dh433.50 | Dh5,056 | Down Dh1.25 |
| 21K (87.5% pure) | Dh415.50 | Dh4,846 | Down Dh1.25 |
| 18K (75% pure) | Dh356.25 | Dh4,155 | Down Dh1.00 |
| 14K (58.5% pure) | Dh277.75 | Dh3,240 | Down Dh1.00 |
The price of one ounce of 24K gold is Dh14,556 today. The international spot price is about $3,880 per ounce, below the $4,000 level gold held for much of late October and early November.
These are board rates, not shop prices. When you buy jewellery, the shop adds a making charge, usually between Dh10 and Dh80 per gram for machine-made pieces. Handmade and designer pieces cost more. A 5 percent VAT also applies to jewellery. Always ask for the full price, including making charges and VAT, before you pay.
How Gold Prices Changed This Week
Gold has fallen every trading day this week. The drop has been steady, not sudden. Here is how the 24K rate moved from Monday to Saturday.
| Day | 24K per gram | Daily change |
|---|---|---|
| Monday, 9 November | Dh496.75 | — |
| Tuesday, 10 November | Dh495.75 | Down Dh1.00 |
| Wednesday, 11 November | Dh487.75 | Down Dh8.00 |
| Thursday, 12 November | Dh479.50 | Down Dh8.25 |
| Friday, 13 November | Dh469.50 | Down Dh10.00 |
| Saturday, 14 November | Dh468.00 | Down Dh1.50 |
The total fall for the week is Dh28.75 per gram for 24K gold, nearly 6 percent. The 22K rate fell Dh26.50 across the week, and the 18K rate fell Dh21.75. For a buyer, the change is large: ten grams of 24K gold cost Dh4,967.50 on Monday, and Dh4,680 today. The difference is Dh287.50.
The fall slowed on Saturday. Friday’s drop was Dh10, while today’s drop is only Dh1.50. This may mean the market is steadying, but no one can say for sure. Prices can move in either direction next week. The board rate is set twice a day, so check the latest rate before you visit a shop.
Silver Prices Today
Silver has also moved lower this week, in line with gold. The latest published silver rate from Al Kananah, a silver jewellery retailer in Dubai, is Dh7,290 per kilo. That works out to about Dh7.29 per gram.
| Silver type | Price |
|---|---|
| Silver kilo (999 fine) | Dh7,290 |
| Silver per gram (999 fine) | About Dh7.29 |
| Silver per tola (999 fine) | About Dh85 |
Silver is much cheaper than gold per gram, which is why many small buyers prefer it. It is also used in industry, so its price follows both investment demand and factory demand. Like gold, silver is priced from the international market and converted into dirhams at the fixed exchange rate.
If you plan to buy silver, remember that silver jewellery also carries making charges and VAT. Silver coins and bars are often a cheaper way to buy the metal, because the making charge is lower than it is for jewellery.
Why Are Gold Prices Falling?
Gold prices in Dubai follow the international gold price, which is set in US dollars per ounce. When the dollar price falls, the dirham price falls with it, because the dirham is fixed to the dollar at 3.6725.
This week, the international spot price fell from above $4,100 per ounce to about $3,880 per ounce. That is a fall of more than 5 percent. Several factors are behind the move.
First, the US dollar has been strong. When the dollar rises, gold often falls, because gold becomes more costly for buyers who use other currencies. Second, some investors have sold gold to take profits after the sharp rise earlier this year. Third, calmer trade and interest-rate news has reduced the demand for gold as a safe place to park money.
None of this means gold will keep falling. Gold has a long record of sharp moves in both directions. It could rise again if the dollar weakens or if new uncertainty appears in world markets. Short-term price moves are hard to predict, and no honest guide can promise a direction.
What the Lower Prices Mean for Buyers
A Dh28.75 fall in one week changes the maths for buyers. If you were planning to buy jewellery for a wedding or a gift, the same item now costs less than it did on Monday. A 22K bangle that weighs 10 grams costs about Dh265 less in metal value than it did a week ago, before making charges.
For investors, the fall may look like a chance to buy at a lower price. Many long-term buyers add small amounts of gold on a regular basis instead of trying to guess the lowest point. This habit spreads the risk over time. It does not guarantee a profit, but it avoids putting all your money in on a single day.
Buying Tips: How to Get a Fair Price
Follow these steps to make sure you pay a fair price and get what you paid for.
1. Check the board rate first. Look up the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group rate before you leave home. The rate is published twice a day. If a shop quotes a metal price far above the board rate, ask why.
2. Ask for the making charge in writing. The making charge is where prices differ most between shops. A simple machine-made chain may carry Dh10 to Dh20 per gram. A handmade or designer piece may carry far more.
3. Ask for the total price, including VAT. A 5 percent VAT applies to jewellery in the UAE. The total you pay is the metal price plus the making charge plus VAT on the full amount. Make sure the bill shows each part clearly.
4. Check the purity mark. Gold sold in the UAE should carry a hallmark that shows its purity, such as 916 for 22K or 750 for 18K. For bars and coins, ask for a certificate from a known refiner.
5. Keep your receipt and certificate. A proper receipt shows the weight, the purity, the rate per gram, the making charge, and the VAT. Keep it safe. You will need it if you ever sell the piece or claim on insurance.
6. Compare at least two shops. Prices for the same design can differ by hundreds of dirhams. A short walk in the Gold Souk in Deira, or a quick check at two malls, can save real money.
7. Think about coins and bars for investment. If you are buying gold to hold, not to wear, coins and bars usually carry lower making charges than jewellery.
What to Check Before You Buy
Before you pay, run through this short checklist.
First, confirm the day’s board rate and the shop’s metal price. Second, confirm the making charge per gram and the total VAT. Third, check the weight on the shop’s scale and the purity mark on the piece. Fourth, read the bill and make sure the weight, purity, rate, making charge, and VAT are all written on it. Fifth, ask about the buyback policy. Some shops buy back at a better rate than others.
If you are buying gold as a gift to carry abroad, check the customs rules of the country you are travelling to. India, for example, allows a limited amount of gold duty-free, and charges duty above that limit. The rules depend on how long you have lived abroad. Check the latest rules before you travel.
Is This a Good Time to Buy?
That depends on why you are buying. If you need jewellery for a wedding or a festival, a lower price is good news, and waiting for a further fall may not be worth the risk. Prices can rise again just as fast as they fell.
If you are buying as an investment, think about your time frame. Gold has risen strongly over the past year, even after this week’s fall. A one-week drop does not change the long-term picture on its own, but it also does not guarantee that prices will rise again soon. A careful buyer buys only what they can afford to hold, and never borrows money to buy gold.
Some buyers prefer to wait for the price to settle. Others buy a little now and a little later. Both approaches are reasonable. What matters is that you buy from a licensed shop, pay a fair making charge, and keep your documents safe.
