FAQs — Gold in Pakistan vs UAE
Is gold cheaper in Dubai than in Pakistan?
Often the per-gram base price is lower in Dubai because of thin dealer margins and refundable 5% VAT, but the final cost depends on making charges, the AED/PKR exchange rate and any customs duty when bringing it home.
How much gold can I bring from Dubai to Pakistan?
Personal jewellery within reasonable limits is generally allowed for returning Pakistanis, while commercial quantities attract duty. Limits change, so verify the current rules with FBR or Pakistan Customs before you travel.
Do Dubai gold shops use tola or gram?
Dubai quotes per gram. Pakistani markets quote per tola (11.6638 g) and per gram, so convert the Dubai gram price to tola for a fair comparison.
Is Dubai gold better quality than Pakistani gold?
Purity standards are equivalent for the same karat. Dubai's advantage is strict enforcement and mandatory purity stamping; in Pakistan, buy from reputable jewellers and ask for a purity guarantee.
