Currency and the gold price in the UAE
The UAE dirham is pegged to the US dollar at a fixed 3.6725 dirhams per dollar, so gold prices in AED move almost exactly with the dollar price.
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 (3.6725) gives 480.81 AED per gram of 24K. Since 21K is 87.5% gold, its gram costs 420.71 AED, and 18K (75%) costs 360.61 AED.
