How Is the Dubai Gold Price Calculated?
Dubai gold rates are set daily by the Dubai Gold and Jewellery Group (DGJG) and are based on the international gold spot price, converted into UAE dirhams. Because the dirham is pegged to the US dollar, Dubai prices move almost exactly in line with the world gold price.
To estimate the value of 10 grams of gold yourself:
10-gram price = gold price per gram (24K) × purity × 10
For example, 22K gold is 91.6% pure, so 10 grams of 22K is worth about 91.6% of the price of 10 grams of 24K gold.
