Gold Price Today: Gold prices across the Gulf region continued their glittering rally on May 9, 2026, as global bullion markets pushed higher amid rising economic uncertainty and renewed safe-haven demand. In the UAE, Dubai once again remained the centre of attention for jewellery buyers and investors, with 24K gold climbing to AED 568.50 per gram, while 22K and 18K gold were priced at AED 526.50 and AED 432.75 per gram, respectively. Across Abu Dhabi and other emirates, rates largely mirrored Dubai’s pricing pattern, though buyers were reminded that making charges still add an extra shine – and cost – to the final bill. Analysts also cautioned that prices could continue changing multiple times during the day as international markets remain volatile.
Oman’s gold market followed the same upward script, with bullion prices rising steadily alongside global trends. The 24K gold rate touched nearly OMR 59.95 per gram, while 22K gold hovered around OMR 55.95 per gram. Meanwhile, 18K gold traded close to OMR 44.20 per gram. Jewellery buyers in Muscat and other major cities are being advised to compare store-specific pricing carefully, as retailer premiums and craftsmanship charges can differ significantly between jewellers.
Saudi Arabia also witnessed a strong rally in retail gold prices, driven by firm international spot prices and continued geopolitical concerns. The 24K gold rate climbed to almost SAR 587.00 per gram, while 22K gold traded near SAR 536.00 per gram. The 18K category stood at SAR 439.00 per gram. Market watchers believe that a weaker US dollar and ongoing global uncertainty are keeping bullion demand elevated, with slight price differences emerging across major cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah due to local demand and jeweller margins.
In Qatar, Doha’s gold market mirrored the broader regional surge as investors continued flocking towards safer assets. The 24K gold rate rose to approximately QAR 567.00 per gram, while 22K gold traded around QAR 522.50 per gram. The 18K category was priced near QAR 427.50 per gram. Traders noted that regional gold prices remain closely tied to daily international bullion movements, while buyers should continue factoring in additional craftsmanship and retail charges before making purchases.
