About Gold24.ae
Gold24.ae is an independent UAE gold price tracker built by a small team based in Dubai. We exist because understanding gold prices — and tools like the zakat calculator, making charge comparisons, and gold loan guides — should be simple, transparent, and free. We've combined everything a UAE resident needs into one place, with the data front and centre.
Why Gold24 exists
The UAE is one of the world's most significant gold markets — Dubai alone processes hundreds of tonnes of gold annually. Yet for most residents, getting a clear answer to "what is the gold price right now?" meant navigating outdated pages, WhatsApp forwards with stale screenshots, or calling a dealer.
We launched Gold24.ae to give UAE residents a single, reliable, up-to-date source for gold prices in AED per gram — with the tools they actually need alongside: a proper calculator that shows metal value vs. making charges, a zakat calculator that handles karat conversion correctly, historical price charts, and practical guides on buying, selling, and storing gold in the UAE.
We don't sell gold, don't take commissions, and don't have affiliate relationships with dealers. The site is funded by advertising. The data is transparent. The tools are free.

How our gold prices are calculated
International spot price
We source the international gold spot price from the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) benchmark — the same globally recognised reference that underpins all retail gold pricing worldwide.
USD to AED conversion
The UAE dirham is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate of 3.6725. We apply this rate to convert the spot price from USD per troy ounce to AED per gram (1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams).
Karat purity factors
We multiply by each karat's purity fraction: 24K (1.000), 22K (0.9167), 21K (0.875), 18K (0.75) — giving the base metal value per gram at each karat.
Retail markup
A standard 1.2% retail markup is applied, reflecting the typical spread that UAE dealers operate at. This aligns our published rates with the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group (DGJG) benchmark shown in shops.
Published & updated
Prices are stored in our database and published on the site. We update every 8 hours during global trading sessions to reflect market movement. The timestamp of the last update is shown on every page.
Karat purity: 24K = 1.000 · 22K = 0.9167 · 21K = 0.8750 · 18K = 0.7500
