Frequently asked
What is the price of gold today in Saudi Arabia?
24K gold is 503.43 SAR per gram today, and 21K is 440.50 SAR. These are live market prices; shops add workmanship and VAT on top.
Why does my jeweller quote a higher price?
The market price is the raw metal price converted to Riyal. Jewellers add workmanship (which varies by design and brand) plus 15% VAT on jewellery. Shop prices are therefore always higher.
Which karat is most traded in Saudi Arabia?
21K is the most traded karat in the Saudi market, especially for jewellery and gifts. 18K follows for designer and branded pieces, and 24K dominates investment bullion.
Is gold bullion exempt from VAT?
Yes. Investment bullion and coins of 99% purity or higher are exempt from VAT in Saudi Arabia, while jewellery carries 15% VAT. This is why a gram of bullion can cost less than a gram of 22K jewellery.
