About 24K gold
24K gold is 99.9% pure gold. In the UAE it is sold mostly as bars and coins, and in some plain, soft jewellery. Because it has almost no other metals, its price follows the international gold price most closely.
Buy 24K if you want gold mainly as a store of value. Bars and coins from recognised refiners are easy to resell, and you pay little or no making charge compared with jewellery.

Is 24K the best gold to buy?
It depends on why you are buying. If you want gold as savings, 24K bars and coins are the most efficient choice: you pay close to the gold value, with a small premium instead of a jewellery making charge, and they are easy to sell later. If you want jewellery to wear, 24K is too soft for most designs and scratches easily, which is why UAE jewellers mostly sell 22K, 21K and 18K pieces.

Buying 24K gold in Dubai
- Bars and coins from recognised refiners come in sizes from 1 g to 1 kg, plus 1 tola and 10 tola bars. Small bars carry a higher premium per gram. See gold bar prices.
- VAT: investment gold of 99% purity or more can be zero-rated, subject to Federal Tax Authority rules. 24K jewellery is charged 5% VAT.
- Paperwork: keep the assay card or certificate and the tax invoice. Buyers check them when you sell.
How to check 24K purity
Gold sold in the UAE is marked with its purity in parts per thousand. For 24K, look for 999 or 995. You can ask the shop to test the piece, and reputable jewellers will show you the hallmark under a loupe. The invoice should state the karat too.
Selling 24K gold
24K bars in good condition with their certificate are the easiest gold to sell, and dealers usually pay close to the spot value. Jewellery in 24K is valued on weight and purity, and the original making charge is not paid back. Compare offers with our selling estimator.
