Every gold store in Dubai must have a gold purity hallmark on items sold and legally have to provide it to customers on request.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The gold purity hallmark certificate provides details such as the weight of the actual gold and stones in the piece, karat specifications, and the labour cost. Each jewellery piece bought at the gold souk comes with authentication and is valued anywhere in the world. Due to this reason, the ex-pat community buys gold to take back to their home country.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gold_In_Dubai_At_A_Reasonable_Cost\"><\/span>Gold In Dubai At A Reasonable Cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exemption from taxes in Dubai are a few reasons for migration to the city or the purchase of gold.

The gold souk has 18-karat and 22-karat gold pieces and jewellery for sale. Here are a few tips to understand the Deira gold souk Dubai market.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understand_the_Market_Price\"><\/span>Understand the Market Price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dubai follows international gold prices to ensure uniformity of prices across all stores in the city. Like stocks, gold prices fluctuate daily, allowing gold buyers to buy gold at the lowest rate.\u00a0 The information centres in Deira souk inform you of the value of gold and the best deals available. By knowing the market price of gold in the Deira gold souk, you can easily bargain with the vendors.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_the_Right_Karat_-_Know_the_Right_Gold_Type\"><\/span>Choose the Right Karat &#8211; Know the Right Gold Type<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gold is sold by karat and weight. The higher the karat, the purer the gold. Gold is mixed with other metals such as silver, copper, zinc and nickel to harden as it is soft and breakable in its purest form.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The purest form of gold is at 24-karat. Gold comes in different colours that describe the types and percentages of alloys mixed in. Thus, always inquire about the gold you purchase, not leaving any specifications out.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pick_out_the_Right_Jewellery\"><\/span>Pick out the Right Jewellery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With plenty of gold around, one can easily get carried away with all the shine and glitter. However, once you know your type of jewellery, whether it&#8217;s earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces or pendants, you want to buy, ask the representative to weigh it and give you the right price. Remember to ask for all the specifications such as weight, karat, value price and the making charges.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><b><i>Did you know?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>The world\u2019s biggest gold ring \u2013 The Najmat Taiba or Star of Taiba, is displayed in Deira Gold Souk and weighs almost 64 kilograms.

Even though the gold price is fixed for the day, the making charges are flexible. The jewellers will expect you to bargain and have a price range ready on a buffer. Start the bargain by at least 25% to get a great deal on your gold item. This makes Deira gold souk cheaper than the rest of the city.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Explore_Different_Gold_Shops_in_Deira\"><\/span>Explore Different Gold Shops in Deira<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Explore other gold stores for a better price before settling on a jewellery piece you like.
