Dubai, known as the “City of Gold” is a preferred site for purchasing gold amongst people from all across the world. The primary reason for this Middle Eastern city attracting droves of buyers each year is the low price of the precious metal here, courtesy of the UAE government levying no tax on purchases of gold in the country and the shops following international free market prices of the bullion.

Buyers can further bring down the overall amount they have to pay for gold jewellery by bargaining on the making charges levied by stores.
In addition to the low prices, other pulling factors are the safety and variety in the gold markets of Dubai.
