Gold Rate Today – Saudi Arabia vs Pakistan
International gold price per tola in Pakistani rupees and Saudi riyals, updated every 5 seconds.
Saudi Arabia or Pakistan – where is gold cheaper?
In both countries the base gold price comes from the international market, so after converting riyals to rupees the base price is almost the same. The real difference comes from making charges, 15% VAT on jewellery in Saudi Arabia, and the local premium in Pakistan's sarafa market.
The rate announced by Pakistan's sarafa associations can differ from the international rate. Check Pakistan Customs' latest rules before carrying gold.
