How the Oman gold price is worked out
Gold is priced worldwide in US dollars per troy ounce. The Omani rial is pegged at OMR 0.3845 to the dollar, so the price in Oman moves only with the world gold price, not with the currency. One ounce is 31.1 grams, and lower purities are priced by their gold content: 22K is 91.7% gold, 21K is 87.5% and 18K is 75%.
What you pay in a shop
Jewellers add a making charge on top of the gold value, which depends on the design and the shop, and Oman’s 5% VAT applies to jewellery. Investment gold bars and coins of high purity are treated differently for VAT, so ask the shop before you buy. Ask for the weight, purity, gold price, making charge and VAT to be shown separately on the invoice.
Which gold is most popular in Oman
21K and 22K are the most common purities in Omani jewellery shops, with 21K used widely in traditional Omani designs and 22K popular with buyers from South Asia. 18K is used mostly for diamond and modern pieces, and 24K is bought mainly as bars and coins for savings.
Where to buy gold in Oman
Muttrah Souq in Muscat is the best-known place for gold and traditional Omani silver, with many shops close together. Malls in Muscat and other cities also have jewellers, usually with higher making charges on branded pieces.
Selling old gold
Shops buy old gold at a buyback price below the selling rate in the table, and may deduct a small amount for testing and melting. Bring your resident card and the original invoice if you have it, and compare what different shops would pay.
