Where to buy gold in Sharjah
The Central Souq (Blue Souk) and Rolla area in Sharjah have many gold shops, and prices are often slightly lower than in Dubai malls. Gulf jewellers sell 22K (916) gold for Indian-style jewellery, and 21K and 18K for Arabic designs, so always check the purity stamp.
VAT and making charges in UAE
The UAE charges 5% VAT on the gold value and making charges of jewellery (investment-grade bars and coins of 99% purity are zero-rated). Tourists can claim back part of the VAT at the airport through the Planet tax-refund counters. Making charges are quoted separately, per gram or as a fixed amount, and are often negotiable, especially in the souks.
Carrying gold from Sharjah to India
Under India's Baggage Rules 2026, a passenger resident abroad for more than one year can bring gold jewellery duty-free up to 20 g for men and 40 g for women, as bona fide personal baggage. The limit is by weight. Above it, or for coins and bars, customs duty applies, so declare at the red channel and keep the purchase invoice. Full guide: bringing gold from UAE to India.
