Buying gold in Riyadh
Riyadh is the capital and the largest gold market in Saudi Arabia. Traditional gold shops are clustered in the historic Al-Dirah and Al-Batha area near Masmak Fortress, while modern jewellery brands fill the malls along Olaya and King Fahd Road.
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: In Riyadh, 21K is the most popular karat for jewellery. Compare the making charge (masna'iya) between a few shops before buying — the gold price itself is the same everywhere.
