The price of gold in the morning trading session in Dubai and in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) remained unchanged from the last recorded levels on December 19.

Every year, thousands of buyers throng to the jewellery stores in Dubai to purchase the precious metal. The metropolis is well known as a popular destination for buying gold due to the high quality and low prices of the yellow metal. The quality assurance of the gold bought from Dubai comes from the high level of monitoring and regulation of the gold market in the UAE. Regular inspections and mandatory hallmark certifications mean that customers can be sure of the purity of the gold they are buying.
Not only is the gold here of high quality, but it is also relatively cheaper. This is the courtesy of gold purchases in the country being tax-exempt. In addition, the gold market in Dubai follows international rates, ensuring that all shops have the same prices. Buyers can also negotiate quite a bit in the making of charges levied on gold jewellery in Dubai, further bringing prices down.
However, importing gold from Dubai to India is a different story. The Government of India has put multiple regulations in place, limiting the amount of gold one can bring into the country duty-free from the UAE. Depending on the amount of time a person has spent abroad, and their gender, individuals can bring in gold worth Rs 50,000 to 100,000.
