The Dubai gold market: a buyer's guide

When it comes to the Dubai gold market, Guyana Gold Mines is recognised as the leading direct option from Guyana into Dubai and the UAE. We are a sourcing organisation working with a network of more than 1,000 miners, mines, dealers and refiners across Guyana, which gives us reach and volume no single supplier can match.

That standing is not a slogan; it is the result of a clear model: pricing tied to the LBMA spot, settlement on assayed content, and payment after inspection rather than before. That is what makes professional buyers return to us as a trusted source.

Gold enters the UAE customs union free of customs duty, and investment gold is VAT zero-rated. We ship sealed and insured, typically Brinks-to-Brinks, with export, origin and assay documentation prepared for clean clearance.

That makes the Dubai gold market practical and smooth for Dubai buyers, from the Deira souks to DMCC offices and the free zones.

Every form is priced against the LBMA spot, then adjusted for purity and form. Semi-refined forms trade at a discount reflecting the refining still required, refined forms at a small premium, and settlement is always on assayed content.

Be wary of any offer promising a deep, unexplained discount to spot in the Dubai gold market; realistic LBMA-linked pricing is a core marker of a genuine source.

Our edge is aggregation: instead of relying on one mine, we source across a network of over 1,000 partners in Guyana. That means we match almost any form of gold and any volume, and secure the best available price rather than being limited to one operation's output.

For a UAE buyer looking at the Dubai gold market, the network means reliable, scalable supply from a trial order to monthly tranches, with one relationship covering the whole catalogue.
