Kuwait does not levy VAT on gold, which makes it genuinely one of the cheapest places in the Gulf to buy gold jewellery. There is no sales tax, no VAT, no customs duty on gold purchases — a major advantage over Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain, all of which charge 5% VAT. For high-value purchases, this difference adds up significantly.
Where to Buy Gold in Kuwait
The main gold market in Kuwait is Al-Mubarakiya souq in Kuwait City’s historic centre, which dates back over a century. The souq is active in the evenings and on weekends, much like UAE gold markets. Modern malls like The Avenues and 360 Mall also have major jewellery chains including Damas, Malabar Gold, and local Kuwaiti brands.
Kuwait’s jewellery market is known for high-purity 21K gold, which is the dominant carat for jewellery here, followed by 18K for Italian-style pieces. 22K Indian-style jewellery is available but less common than in UAE or Bahrain markets.
Kuwait vs UAE Gold Prices: What’s the Real Difference?
Because Kuwait has no VAT on gold, buyers there effectively pay 5% less than in the UAE for jewellery. On a 100-gram gold purchase (worth approximately AED 45,000), that saves around AED 2,250. Making charges are broadly similar to Dubai. However, most expats find the UAE more accessible for price comparison due to the Dubai Gold Souk’s transparency and competition.
