The City of Gold, Dubai, has long been a favoured site for making gold and jewellery purchases. Markets such as the Gold Souk, Meena Bazaar, and Baniya Street offer a wide variety of designs and house several Indian brands such as Joyallukas, Kalyan Jewellers, Tanishq, and Malabar Gold. Apart from the variety of designs, and the leeway to bargain heavily on the making charges, Dubai is also preferred for its accurate pricing. The price of gold here changes based on the same day’s market movement.

Tourists are also refunded the 5 per cent value-added tax (VAT) in Dubai upon passport declaration.

While the rates are lower in Dubai, Indian citizens need to keep in mind that there are multiple restrictions on how much gold one can bring into India from outside. In case that limit is crossed, buyers have to pay customs charges that can result in gold prices at par or even higher than the rates in India.
