<p style="font:12px sans-serif"><a href="https://goldpricesarabia.com/en/uae/gold-price/21k">Source: Gold Prices Arabia</a></p>What 21K gold actually is
87.5% pure · 21/24 · hallmarked 87521K is 87.5% gold, stamped 875, and it is the Middle East's own standard — uncommon in Europe or America, dominant from Cairo to Kuwait. The extra alloy over 22K buys enough hardness for daily wear while keeping the warm yellow that reads as gold rather than as pale metal.
It is the karat most Arab jewellers quote first, and the one most likely to be in the window with a per-gram price on a card. If you are comparing shops in this region, comparing their 21K gram price is the closest thing to a like-for-like test, because nearly all of them carry it.
Because it is the regional default, it also has the deepest resale market here: a 21K piece sold back in Amman, Riyadh or Cairo is priced against a number the shop quotes every morning, with no need to convert from a standard the local trade does not use.

Today's Range & Spread
XAU/AEDUnited Arab Emirates gold market
The UAE, and Dubai's Gold Souk in Deira in particular, is one of the world's largest gold trading hubs. Both 21K and 22K are common in jewellery, and 24K in investment bars. The UAE introduced 5% VAT in 2018; it applies to the full price of jewellery, gold value and making charge alike, while investment gold of 99% purity or more in bullion form is zero-rated. The dirham is pegged to the US dollar at 3.6725, so dirham gold prices mirror the dollar price.
