18K gold price today.
Live 18K (750 fine, 75 percent pure) gold price in AED per gram, sourced from the international XAU spot rate at the fixed AED-USD peg.
18K gold is 750 hallmark, 75 percent pure gold. Per-gram price equals the live 24K reference rate multiplied by 0.750. Standard across the UAE; the same rate applies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Northern Emirates retail shops, before making charges.
A design karat, not a store of value. Chosen for European brands and diamond settings; resale spread is far steeper than 22K, so buy it for the piece.
