Oman does not currently charge VAT on gold — the Sultanate introduced 5% VAT in 2021 on most goods, but investment gold (bars and coins above 99% purity) is VAT-exempt. Gold jewellery, however, does attract VAT. This exemption makes Oman an attractive option for buyers of gold coins and bullion bars.
Muscat’s Gold Souq and Key Markets
The main gold market in Oman is Mutrah Souq in old Muscat — one of the oldest markets in the Arabian Peninsula, with a gold section that has operated for centuries. Mutrah is famous for Omani-style jewellery: heavy silver and gold pieces with traditional craftsmanship that you won’t find in Dubai’s more international market. For modern jewellery, Muscat City Centre and Avenues Mall Muscat have international chains.
A unique feature of Oman’s market is the strength of Omani silver jewellery alongside gold — many traditional pieces mix the two metals, and tribal Omani silver is collected and traded internationally. For gold specifically, 21K and 22K are dominant, with 18K for modern designs.
Gold Prices in Oman vs UAE: Practical Comparison
After currency conversion, 22K gold in Muscat typically costs within 1–2% of Dubai prices. The advantage in Oman comes from lower making charges for traditional jewellery and competitive pricing in local souqs where bargaining is expected and accepted. For modern branded jewellery, Dubai’s Deira market remains more competitive due to higher volume and competition.
