The gold market in Riyadh
Gold shops are spread across Riyadh's traditional markets and malls, dominated by 21K for everyday pieces and 18K for gem-set jewellery.
The Saudi riyal is pegged to the US dollar at 3.75 riyals per dollar, so global ounce moves pass straight through to the gram price in SAR.
How the gold price in Riyadh is calculated
Worked example at current prices: the ounce is 4,072.10 USD. Dividing by 31.1035 gives 130.92 USD per gram; multiplying by the exchange rate (3.7500) gives 490.95 SAR per gram of 24K. Since 21K is 87.5% gold, its gram costs 429.58 SAR, and 18K (75%) costs 368.22 SAR.
Tips for buying gold in Riyadh
- Check the hallmark: 999 for 24K, 916 for 22K, 875 for 21K and 750 for 18K.
- Ask for an invoice showing weight, karat, price per gram, making charge and any tax.
- VAT of 15% applies to gold below 99% purity, such as jewellery, while gold of 99% purity or more is zero-rated according to ZATCA.
- Compare making charges between shops — they drive most of the difference in final prices.
- Ask about the buy-back price and exchange policy before you pay.
- Use the live price on this page as your reference when negotiating.
