Dubai is a preferred site for purchasing gold amongst individuals globally. The primary reason why the “City of Gold” attracts droves of buyers each year is the cheaper rates of the precious metal here. The price of gold in Dubai is much lower than anywhere else in the world due to the UAE government’s policy to not impose taxes on gold purchases in the country. Moreover, UAE gold shops provide customers the best prices since shops here follow international free market pricing of the bullion. While buyers using Indian currency have to spend Rs 5,575 for one gram of 24-carat gold in their home country, they have to pay much lesser Rs 5,049.27 when buying the same quality and quantity in a shop in Dubai. Buyers can further bring down the overall amount they have to pay for gold jewellery by bargaining on the making charges levied by stores.
