The gold price in Bahrain today, updated live with the world spot price: the price per gram in Bahraini dinar (BHD) and US dollars for every karat — 24, 22, 21 and 18 — plus the ounce and kilo. Bahrain’s dinar is pegged at a fixed rate (1 US dollar = 0.376 BHD), so Bahrain gold prices move only with the world gold price itself. 21 karat is the local jewellery standard, 24 karat is for bars and investment, and 22 karat is popular with many expatriate buyers. Prices here are the raw gold value — shops add making charges, and jewellery carries 10% VAT on the full invoice, while investment-grade bars are zero-rated.

Frequently asked questions
What is the gold price in Bahrain today?
The live gold price in Bahrain is shown in the table at the top of this page, in Bahraini dinar (BHD) and US dollars: the price per gram for every karat (24, 22, 21 and 18), the price per ounce and per kilo. Prices are the global spot price converted at Bahrain’s fixed rate of 1 US dollar = 0.376 BHD — they are the raw gold value, before shop making charges and VAT.
Which karat is most popular in Bahrain?
21 karat is Bahrain’s jewellery standard and its most traded karat, at 87.5% purity — a balance of value and durability. 24 karat (pure gold) is used for bars and coins, and 22 karat is also bought by many expatriate buyers. The dedicated 21 karat section of the live table above shows the local standard first.
Is there VAT on gold in Bahrain?
Yes — Bahrain applies 10% VAT, and on jewellery it is charged on the full invoice value (gold plus making charges). The exception is investment-grade gold of 99% purity or higher, which is zero-rated when the official conditions are met — so bars and coins are bought without VAT. Tourists can also reclaim the VAT on eligible purchases through the tourist refund scheme when leaving Bahrain; residents cannot.
Where can I buy gold in Bahrain?
The Manama Gold Souk, near Bab Al Bahrain in old Manama, is the heart of Bahrain’s gold trade, with rows of gold and jewellery shops side by side. Jewellery chains also operate in the big malls (City Centre Bahrain, Seef Mall and The Avenues). Wherever you buy, ask for an itemised invoice showing weight, karat, gold value, making charges and VAT separately.
Why does the shop price differ from the price shown here?
The prices here are the raw value of gold at the world spot price. A shop adds its making charges for the piece, then 10% VAT on the jewellery total — and that is the gap you see. Investment bars and coins skip both the making charges and the VAT when they qualify as investment gold, which is why savers prefer them.
