Gold Price in Tunisia Today

Gold price in Tunisia today, updated live with the world spot price and the daily dinar exchange rate: gram prices for 18K, 21K and 24K in Tunisian dinars and US dollars, plus the ounce, bullion and silver. Tunisia is an 18K country — locally stamped and asked for as ‘750’ — and the dinar floats under the Central Bank of Tunisia’s management, so Tunisian prices move with both the world spot price and the daily exchange rate.

Gold in Tunisia — what to know

The heart of the trade is the old-city souks of Tunis around Bab Bhar and its specialised markets, with further gold markets in Sfax, Sousse and Bizerte. The key local facts for visitors: Tunisian jewellery is 18K (750) by law and custom, following the European and Maghrebi karat tradition — not the 21K of the Gulf and Levant — and shop prices for new jewellery sit noticeably above the raw spot-derived gram price, because workmanship and the shop’s margin are added on top. Reports citing the jewellers’ chamber and carried by Express FM put starting prices for new 18K jewellery in Tunisian shops at around 450 dinars per gram including workmanship — an attributed market report, not a fixed rule and not a price we publish. Tunisia also has two features of its own: a very large used and broken-gold market (المستعمل والمكسر), and a budget karat, 9K — locally ‘thouq 9’, stamped 375 — that circulates in that used market; it is real gold at 37.5% purity, but its resale market is narrower than 18K’s. We publish no official workmanship figure because none exists; our Arabic checker page splits any shop quote into raw value versus additions so you can compare jewellers yourself.

The Arabic Tunisia section

Every Tunisia page also exists in Arabic with the full toolset: the flagship 18K (750) page, 24K, the dedicated 9K page, silver, bullion and the ounce, a gold calculator with unit converter and portfolio tracker, a zakat calculator, a price checker explaining the local additions, and a sell calculator for the used-gold market: أسعار الذهب في تونس بالعربية

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the gold price in Tunisia today?

Live Tunisia prices are in the table above: gram prices for 18K, 21K and 24K in Tunisian dinars and US dollars, updated with the world spot price and the daily dinar rate. When this page was built, 18K — Tunisia’s standard — was about TND 301.45 per gram and 24K about TND 401.93 at a spot price of $4,195.60 per ounce and 2.9796 dinars per dollar. These are raw metal values before workmanship and shop margin.

What does ‘750 gold’ mean in Tunisia?

It is the hallmark number for 18K: 750 parts per thousand (75%) pure gold. Tunisia follows the European and Maghrebi tradition, so 18K/750 is the legal and popular standard for jewellery — harder than 21K, better for stone settings, and the karat every Tunisian jeweller quotes first. Tunisia also trades a lighter karat, 9K (stamped 375, locally ‘thouq 9’), mainly in its big used-gold market.

Why are shop prices in Tunisia so much higher than the spot gram price?

Because a shop’s price for new jewellery adds real workmanship and the shop’s margin on top of the raw metal value. Reports citing the Tunisian jewellers’ chamber and carried by Express FM put starting prices for new 18K pieces at around TND 450 per gram including workmanship, against a raw value near TND 301 — a wide but structural gap. There is no official fixed workmanship rate in Tunisia, so the honest way to judge a quote is to compute the raw value — as this site does — and compare the addition per gram between two or three jewellers for a similar piece.

How are the dinar prices calculated?

We take the world spot price in US dollars and convert it at the daily market rate for the Tunisian dinar, which floats under the Central Bank of Tunisia’s management — it is not pegged. That is why Tunisian gold prices can move even on a day when world gold is flat, if the dinar itself moved. All tables update automatically with both inputs.

Where do people buy gold in Tunisia?

In the old-city souks of the capital around Bab Bhar and its specialised gold markets, and in jewellers across Sfax, Sousse, Bizerte and the other big cities. Always buy with an official invoice showing weight, karat and price, and check the 750 hallmark on jewellery; for investment, buy sealed stamped bars from a recognised dealer so resale is easy. Used gold is widely traded too — but pieces sold as scrap are valued on their pure-gold content only.
