Gold prices in the United Arab Emirates remained firm on Wednesday, 4 February 2026, with 24-karat gold trading at approximately AED 611.75 per gram, according to local market data. The popular 22-karat purity was around AED 566.50 per gram, while 18-karat gold was near AED 465.50 per gram. These rates reflect ongoing demand in the UAE for gold — both as an investment and a cultural purchase — with values influenced by global bullion trends and regional investor sentiment.
Market watchers say the gold price in Dubai has seen daily fluctuations this week, with prices edging higher compared with recent sessions, mirroring global bullion dynamics amid geopolitical tensions and safe-haven buying. Gold dealers in major UAE hubs like Dubai’s famed Gold Souk continue to adjust rates in response to international spot prices and local market flows.
Globally, gold has been rallying as investors seek stability against currency volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty. Recent international data shows gold prices climbing near multi-year highs, supported by safe-haven demand sparked by geopolitical concerns and a softer US dollar environment.
For buyers in the UAE, daily gold rates can vary slightly by dealer and location, and retail prices may also incorporate making charges and local premiums. Those planning purchases are advised to check live rates before transacting, especially ahead of festive seasons or export travel where customs rules may impact carry-on limits.
