Gold Price in Jordan Today

Gold price in Jordan today, updated live with the world spot price: gram prices for 24K, 21K and 18K in Jordanian dinars and US dollars, plus the ounce, silver, bullion and the famous gold liras. Jordan is a 21K market — the karat of bridal dowries and everyday jewellery — and the dinar has been hard-pegged to the US dollar at 0.709 since 1995, so Jordanian gold prices move with the world spot price alone, with no exchange-rate noise.

Gold in Jordan — what to know

Amman’s downtown Balad district — the gold souk around the Husseini Mosque and Bukhariyya market — is the historic heart of the trade, with further gold shops in Sweifieh, Mecca Street and Umm Uthaina, and in Irbid, Zarqa and Aqaba. The goldsmiths’ syndicate publishes an official daily price list (tas3eera) with shop selling and buying prices for each karat; news sites quote it every morning, and it is the list shops actually trade on. Two Jordanian quirks matter to buyers: gold in all its forms is EXEMPT from the 16% general sales tax — a jewellery invoice is raw value + workmanship + a small per-gram hallmarking (damgha) fee, with no tax layer — and the gold lira coins (the ~7.2 g Rashadi and the 7.988 g English sovereign, both 22K) are the country’s classic savings instrument, gifted at weddings and held by families for generations.

The Arabic Jordan section

Every Jordan page also exists in Arabic with the full toolset: karat pages for 21K, 24K and 18K, silver, bullion and the gold liras, the ounce, a gold calculator with unit converter and portfolio tracker, a zakat calculator, a workmanship and damgha checker, and a sell calculator for used gold: أسعار الذهب في الأردن بالعربية

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the gold price in Jordan today?

Live Jordan prices are in the table above: gram prices for 24K, 21K and 18K in Jordanian dinars and US dollars, updated with the world spot price. When this page was built, 24K was about JOD 95.91 per gram and 21K about JOD 83.92 at a spot price of $4,207.50 per ounce. These are raw metal values before workmanship and the hallmarking fee.

Why is 21K the main karat in Jordan?

21K (87.5% pure) is the standard for Jordanian jewellery and bridal dowries (mahr): hard enough for daily wear, rich in colour, and the karat every shop quotes first — the syndicate’s daily list and all local price questions revolve around it. 24K is reserved for bars and coins, and 18K appears in modern and stone-set imported designs.

Is gold taxed in Jordan?

No — gold in all its forms, including gold jewellery, is on the exempt-goods list of Jordan’s general sales tax law, so there is no 16% sales tax on the gold itself, unlike the VAT charged on jewellery in Saudi Arabia or the UAE. A Jordanian jewellery invoice has three parts: the raw gold value, the workmanship charge, and a small per-gram hallmarking fee (damgha) charged for the Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization stamp. If a shop adds a ‘tax’ line to gold, ask for its legal basis.

What is the syndicate tas3eera I keep hearing about?

It is the official daily price list published by the Jordanian goldsmiths’ syndicate, with a selling price and a buying price per gram for each karat. Jordanian news sites publish it every day and shops trade on it. The selling price sits above the raw world value because it is a shop list fixed at set times of day; our table shows the live raw value it is built from, so you can check any shop’s quote against both.

What are the Rashadi and English gold liras?

The two classic gold coins of the Jordanian market, both 22K. The Rashadi lira (named after the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed V Reshad) weighs about 7.2 grams — raw value around JOD 633 when this page was built. The English lira is the British sovereign at 7.988 grams — around JOD 702. Both are priced by weight times the 22K gram price, plus a small market premium; always weigh and check the stamp before buying.
