Gold in Oman rose on 29 Jul 2026, at OMR 51.40 a gram for 24K (up OMR 0.13), with 22K at OMR 47.00 and 21K — the everyday Gulf jewellery standard — at OMR 45.00. Because the rial is pegged to the US dollar just like the UAE dirham, Oman's rate tracks the Dubai bullion price almost exactly; at today's rates that 24K works out to about Rs 12,799/g. These are metal rates — investment 999 bars are zero-rated; jewellery adds making charges and 5% VAT.

About gold prices in Oman
Why Oman and Dubai cost almost the same
The rial and the UAE dirham are both pegged to the US dollar, and gold trades in dollars globally. So once you convert currencies, Oman and Dubai land on virtually the same per-gram price — the metal is identical, and only local making charges, VAT and shop margins create a small gap. That's why our Oman rate is derived from the live Dubai bullion price.
One rate across the country
Oman gold is a single national rate, so Muscat, Salalah, Sohar, Nizwa all show the same per-gram price on a given day. A search for "Muscat gold rate" returns the same number — only the making charge and shop offers vary.
24K, 22K, 21K and 18K in Oman
21K (87.5% pure) is the everyday Gulf jewellery standard, brighter and a little harder than 22K. 24K is for bars and investment, 22K is favoured by Indian and South Asian buyers, and 18K suits diamond and modern pieces. VAT of 5% applies to jewellery and making charges, but investment-grade 999 bars are zero-rated.
Bringing it home to India
The headline saving shrinks once Indian customs duty is added above your duty-free allowance, so Gulf gold makes most sense within your limit or for jewellery you'll keep abroad. Use the customs calculator before you buy, and keep your invoice for declaration.
Rates are reference Oman metal prices, based on the daily Dubai gold rate via the fixed OMR/USD peg; INR conversions use Rs 249.00/OMR. Confirm with the jeweller — final price includes making charges and 5% VAT on jewellery.
