Gold Rate Today in Dubai — Live Gold Price per Gram
Dubai (دبي) is the "City of Gold", and the Gold Souk in Deira is its beating heart — hundreds of shops with windows stacked in yellow. The Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group publishes the daily rate the whole emirate follows, quoted per gram in UAE Dirhams (AED) for 24k, 22k, 21k and 18k. Because the dirham is pegged to the US dollar at about 3.6725, Dubai's rate hugs international spot, which is exactly why tourists fly in to buy.
The real draw is cost: no import duty, low and negotiable making charges, and fierce competition down the souk. Many South-Asian shoppers still think in tolas (11.664 g), so the table below shows per gram, per tola and per karat at the live AED rate — a clean benchmark before you haggle.
Twenty-one-karat is a Gulf favourite for its rich colour and durability, and you will see it quoted prominently in Deira alongside 22k and pure 24k bars bought for investment.

Gold rates are derived from the live international spot price converted to AED and are indicative metal values for information only — not a jeweller quote or financial advice. Retail prices add duties, taxes and making charges.
