22K Compared With 24K, 21K, and 18K Today
The four retail purities sold in Dubai carry the same underlying spot price, so the per-gram rates differ only by metal content: 22K holds 91.6% gold and therefore prices at about 91.7% of the 24K figure, while 21K and 18K sit lower again, as the comparison shows for 2026-09-04.

22K Gold Price Chart: One Year in AED per Gram
The chart converts one year of daily gold futures closes into the Dubai 22K rate in AED per gram, which is exact because the dirham has been pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725 throughout the period, so every move in the line is a move in the international gold price itself; the history page extends the series to ten years.
Shop Price Calculator: Metal Rate, Making Charge, and VAT
The calculator estimates what a Dubai jeweller will actually charge for a 22K piece: the weight times today's metal rate, plus the making charge per gram that you negotiate, plus 5% VAT on the invoice, so that the quote in the shop can be checked line by line against the board rate.
What 22K Gold Means and Who Buys It in Dubai
22K gold is 91.6% pure metal alloyed with copper and silver, stamped 916, and hard enough for chains, bangles, necklaces, and bridal sets that are worn daily. Indian, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan designs are made in 22K almost by default, which makes it the largest-selling purity in the Deira Gold Souk and in the Indian jewellery chains across the UAE, from Abu Dhabi's Madinat Zayed centre to Sharjah's Central Souq. Buyers from South Asia compare the Dubai 22K rate with home prices because India charges import duty and GST on gold while the UAE charges no import duty on bullion, a gap the rupee comparison page quantifies each day, and the customs guide sets out how much of it can go home duty free. The alloy also explains resale: a shop buys back 22K at the day's 22K metal rate for the weight, and the making charge paid at purchase is not returned.
How the 22K Rate Is Derived From the Spot Price
The 22K rate per gram equals the spot price in US dollars per troy ounce divided by 31.1035 grams, multiplied by the 3.6725 peg, multiplied by 0.916 for the metal content. Worked example for 2026-09-04: $4,432.60 ÷ 31.1035 × 3.6725 × 0.916 = AED 479.41 per gram. Shops may round the board rate to the nearest quarter dirham, and the retail price adds the making charge, so a quote a few dirhams above this figure is normal; a quote far above it is the making charge being folded into the metal rate, which is the point to question.
