Frequently asked questions
What is the price of 21K gold today in Egypt?
One gram of 21K gold in Egypt sells for 5,955 Egyptian pounds today, and shops buy it back at 5,915 Egyptian pounds. These prices are for the metal only and exclude the making charge.
Why is the buy price lower than the sell price?
The gap between the two is the jeweler's margin for handling, refining and resale risk. When you sell gold, the shop pays the buy price. When you buy, you pay the sell price plus the making charge.
Do these prices include the making charge?
No. The making charge (workmanship) is added per gram or per piece and depends on the design and the shop. Use our gold calculator to add it.
What is the difference between 24K, 21K and 18K gold?
The karat measures purity out of 24. 24K is 99.9% gold, 21K is 87.5% and 18K is 75%. Lower karats are harder and cheaper per gram.
Why are gold prices different between countries?
Every country prices gold from the same international dollar price, but exchange rates, taxes, import duties and local demand change the final price per gram.
How often are prices updated?
Prices refresh automatically every minute while markets are open. If a feed is delayed, the page says so and shows the last known prices.
About these prices
Prices are indicative and are meant to help you know the market before you visit a shop. For Arab markets we follow the karat prices posted by local jewelers. For other countries we calculate prices from the international spot price and live exchange rates. Shops add the making charge and may differ slightly from these figures.
