Why 22K Gold Dominates in UAE

22K is the everyday jewellery standard in the UAE — the Dubai Gold Souk's counters are dominated by 22K, and the daily UAE rate published by the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group quotes 22K alongside 24K and 21K. The emirate's huge South Asian community buys 22K for weddings and festivals, and it is the karat most tourists come to Dubai to buy.

What 22K Gold Is Used For

Everyday jewellery, bridal sets, bangles and chains — the default karat for gold jewellery across the UAE.

How to Buy 22K Gold in UAE

Dubai jewellers quote the daily 22K rate plus making charges plus 5% VAT on jewellery — ask for the three parts separately. Making charges are negotiable in the Gold Souk and vary by design; compare two or three shops. Check the 916 hallmark and keep the invoice, which you need for resale or exchange anywhere in the Gulf.
