Do you know how to buy gold in Dubai and not get scammed? I'll show you, plus, how to test your gold at a lab to check that it's real.

Dubai is known for its luxurious shopping experiences, and one of the most sought-after items is gold jewellery. But with so many stores selling gold, it can be overwhelming to know where to buy and how to ensure that the gold is genuine. In this video, I'll show you everything you need to know about shopping for gold in Dubai and avoiding scams!

Is Dubai actually cheaper? What do you think? Here's what I spent on 1 pair of earrings:

Gold weight: 6g
Gold value: 1343 dirhams
Making charge: 277 (20.6%)
Tax (VAT 5%): 81 (69 tax back at airport)
Total: 1701 dirhams (with tax back: 1632 dirhams).

I think it works about the same price as India if buying designer pieces.

  • Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.
  • Considering the current market uncertainty, it appears prudent to consider investing in gold or a gold ETF. I'm contemplating allocating over $300k for retirement purposes. While the potential for short-term gains in a bullish market is enticing, I recognize the importance of maintaining a long-term investment strategy.

  • @kkam7984
    Being in the industry couple of things to mention. First is the making fee, lot of the time it may be very little to nothing on the machine made items however if you have anything detailed hand made or custom made you will have to pay the making fee. Secondly, the authentication I can tell you that bars can be fake no acid, machine or weight can detect the fake bars we often drill holes in them if they dont come from our trusted suppliers. However small jewellery can be authenticated by the machine.

    I have always bought gold chains from the suk. Brought back to Australia and sold a few years later for a profit. Gold centre is the place I buy gold from
  • @paulkeenan2691
    Really sound advice, A couple of other variables in travelling with gold to India- 24c unmarked jewellery - chains and rings - ( it does raise eye brows with bullion dealers in India see pure gold jewelry- and another viable method are 8g minted coins " sovereigns" and the occasional Britannia/ Eagle/ maple.
