Buying gold in Makkah
In Makkah, many gold shops serve pilgrims and visitors near Al-Masjid Al-Haram and in the surrounding commercial districts. Demand rises sharply during Hajj and Ramadan.
Gold prices in Saudi Arabia follow the international spot price, quoted in US dollars per troy ounce. Because the Saudi riyal is pegged at 3.75 to the dollar, the riyal price moves exactly with the global market. The same base price applies in every city — what differs between shops is the making charge (masna'iya) and design.
Tip: During peak seasons the base gold price does not change, but making charges can. Check today's rate on this page before you start negotiating.
