The gold ounce is a troy ounce of 31.1035 grams, not the ordinary ounce (28.3495 g). Prices are indicative, based on the international spot price; when buying physical products, a minting premium or making charge and any applicable tax are added depending on the product.
Troy ounce — the only ounce that matters for gold
Gold is weighed in troy ounces: 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams. It is heavier than the ordinary (avoirdupois) ounce of 28.3495 grams used for groceries — mixing the two up is the most common beginner mistake in gold maths. Every figure on this page uses the troy ounce. From it, everything else follows: the gram price is the ounce price ÷ 31.1035, and the kilo price is the ounce price × 32.1507.
Why the UAE ounce price moves only with the world price
Because the dirham is fixed to the US dollar (1 USD = 3.6725 AED), the ounce price in dirhams is simply the world dollar price × 3.6725 — there is no currency effect for UAE readers, unlike in floating-currency countries. When the ounce in AED changes, the world price changed. For per-gram jewellery rates, see the UAE gold price, and for the gram-by-gram karat tables the 24K gold price in the UAE.
