Gold Rates Today: October 14, 2026
Gold buyers in the Gulf are monitoring prices for different purities on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. The region is a major destination for jewellery purchases, particularly for shoppers comparing prices across the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Oman.
The price of gold depends on its purity, international bullion prices, currency movements and local market conditions. 24K gold has the highest purity among the three categories listed, while 22K gold is widely used for jewellery. 18K gold contains a lower proportion of pure gold and is also used in jewellery designs.
The indicative rates below are reported per gram. Actual retail prices can differ between jewellers and may change during the day.

Dubai Gold Rate Today
In Dubai, the indicative gold rate on October 14 is AED 502.50 per gram for 24K gold, AED 465.25 for 22K and AED 380.70 for 18K. The reported 24K and 22K rates are AED 0.25 per gram lower than the previous day's listed prices.
Dubai is a prominent gold-shopping destination, but the displayed gold rate is only one part of the total purchase cost. Jewellery buyers should also check making charges, applicable taxes and any retailer-specific fees before making a decision. <Cite refs={["turn878962search1","turn878962search5"]}/>
Abu Dhabi Gold Rate Today
Abu Dhabi's indicative rates are the same as Dubai's in the cited listing: AED 502.50 per gram for 24K, AED 465.25 for 22K and AED 380.70 for 18K gold.
Customers planning to purchase jewellery should confirm the rate at the time of billing and ask for a detailed breakdown of the gold value, making charges and taxes. <Cite refs={["turn878962search2"]}/>
Riyadh Gold Rate Today
In Riyadh, the listed price is SAR 517 per gram for 24K gold, SAR 473 for 22K and SAR 387 for 18K gold.
The figures provide a reference for buyers comparing gold prices in Saudi Arabia. However, jewellery prices may differ from indicative market rates because of retailer pricing, craftsmanship and additional charges. Customers should confirm the latest local rate before buying.
Kuwait City Gold Rate Today
The indicative gold price in Kuwait is KWD 42.25 per gram for 24K gold. The listed rates for 22K and 18K gold are KWD 38.47 and KWD 31.50 per gram, respectively.
Shoppers should compare the final quoted price rather than the gold rate alone, particularly when buying finished jewellery. Making charges and other applicable costs can affect the total amount payable.
Doha Gold Rate Today
In Doha, the indicative rate is QAR 503 per gram for 24K gold, QAR 464 for 22K and QAR 379.60 for 18K gold.
Buyers comparing jewellery prices in Qatar should check both the gold purity and the retailer's additional charges. The price per gram of the gold itself does not necessarily represent the final retail price of a finished ornament.
Muscat Gold Rate Today
In Muscat, the reported rates are OMR 53.55 per gram for 24K gold, OMR 50.20 for 22K and OMR 41.10 for 18K gold.
Customers should verify the current rate with a local jeweller before completing a transaction. As with other Gulf markets, the final price depends on the purity and weight of the item, making charges and any applicable taxes.
What Is the Difference Between 24K, 22K and 18K Gold?
The karat measurement indicates the proportion of pure gold in an item:
24K gold: Approximately 99.9% pure gold; often used for bullion and investment products.
22K gold: Approximately 91.6% pure gold; commonly used for traditional jewellery.
18K gold: 75% pure gold, with the remaining 25% made up of other metals; often used for jewellery requiring added strength or particular designs.
A higher karat generally means a higher proportion of pure gold, but the best choice depends on whether the buyer prioritises purity, investment use, durability or jewellery design.
What Should Buyers Check Before Purchasing Gold?
Before buying gold in any of these cities, consumers should:
Confirm the latest price per gram and the item's stated purity.
Check the item's weight and hallmark or purity certification, where applicable.
Ask for making charges and applicable taxes to be itemised separately.
Compare the final bill across reputable retailers.
Keep the invoice and purchase documentation.
Conclusion
Gold rates on October 14, 2026, provide buyers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Kuwait City, Doha and Muscat with a useful starting point for comparing 24K, 22K and 18K gold. However, the figures are indicative and can differ from shop prices. Buyers should verify the latest local rate and all additional charges before making a purchase.
