About DahabRate

DahabRate is a small site that shows the reference gold price in the Gulf markets clearly and explains how it is worked out.

It started with a question that comes up on every trip to a gold souq: is the price the shop asks reasonable? Answering it needs a neutral number for what a gram is worth at that moment, which you can then hold against the making charge. That number is what we publish.
