Dubai, known as the “City of Gold” is a preferred site for purchasing gold amongst people from all across the world. The primary reason for this Middle-Eastern city attracting droves of buyers each year is the low price of the precious metal here. This is a result of the UAE government’s policy to not impose taxes on gold purchases in the country. Moreover, UAE gold shops provide customers with the best international rates as they follow international free market pricing of the bullion. Buyers from India today have to shell out Rs 5,558 for one gram of 24-carat gold in their home country, while they have to pay much lesser Rs 4,980.04 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. While this can also be done in stores in India, the extent to which one can negotiate on making charges is greater in Dubai.
