Gold prices in the United Arab Emirates showed adjustments across major purity categories on Monday, 16 February 2026, influenced by global bullion market trends and trading dynamics.
According to the latest retail rates in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the 24‑carat gold price stood near AED 599.75 per gram, while 22‑carat traded around AED 555.25 per gram and 18‑carat at about AED 456.25 per gram. Analysts note that regional prices often reflect international spot movements and currency exchange factors.
Gold benchmarks in the UAE are closely watched by both residents and investors due to their alignment with global bullion pricing and the absence of VAT on investment‑grade holdings. Daily shifts can occur based on international demand, foreign exchange fluctuations and trading volume.
Local bullion buyers — including those in Dubai’s famous Gold Souk and Abu Dhabi markets — are advised to check real‑time price updates before buying, as retail premiums and making charges vary between sellers.
