    Appreciate ur detailed video. Some known people of mine told me that In dubai there r some shops, where they sell Pure Gold chains ( 24karat ) . Is it true? If yes, may i know the place?
    Moreover 22karat means 91.6% KDM ryt?

      @kranthivardhan2056 I have seen online about gold chains with 24karat. Not sure how a chain can be made of 24karat. A pure gold cannot be molded into ornaments is a generally known fact. So I would not have thought of buying it as there will be some mixes and charges will be of 24karat. I hope this info helps you in deciding.

    @LifeOfBooksAndTravels : Do you get an additional discount of 2.5% if payment in cash (AED or USD) compared to credit? Did you checked this with different stores in Gold Souk?

    • @LifeOfBooksAndTravels
      @LifeOfBooksAndTravels  19 днів тому +1

      @parthivc6353 No I have not checked about it. We didnt want to buy in Gold Souk as I didnt feel very comfortable buying there.. And credit cards have different sort of rules. So always buy keeping that in mind. The credit card we used was of Niyo where you don't have to pay anything extra for credit use per say. And no conversion charges. So if someone says, 2.5% you save without credit card, meaning you paid extra for credit card and that won't be applicable for cash. If your credit card itself is not charging you extra then no need to worry at all. But you can still check as I don't have knowledge about saving through cash payment. I don't want to mislead you without knowing in depth. Thank you. 😇

      @bhavinprajapati9750 Interesting thought. I am not aware of the currency acceptance. We paid in Niyo Global card. As for 24 carat gold bar, 10% custom duty would be applied. That's what I saw online.

      @khushbrar9229 I definitely don't recommend buying a gold bar. One of my friend had bought this and custom officer caught him and my friend had to pay fine and tax as well. So it became much more than if he would have bought in India. In end it was useless to buy from there. Buy something less which you can wear and come.

      Thanks for the comment. While leaving India, no one checks anything. But while coming back if you are wearing too much of gold, then official's may check. Or Normally also they can ask if you are wearing gold, like from where did you buy? You can say you wore it while leaving India. You always had it with you. Need to be calm and act normal infront of custom officials.. 😃

    Is gold prices same across all shops in Dubai ? 22k same price in all shops ?

    • @LifeOfBooksAndTravels
      @LifeOfBooksAndTravels  7 місяців тому +1

      22k gold rate what I showed in the video, was same as market price. You can always verify it when bill is made. I don't think gold rate would vary, becuase customers would cross verify. But making charges is something the shop keeper will play around.. Do not believe if someone says no making charges. It is a business, simply they cannot give an ornament for a gold price.. that's why I have made this video to educate people.

      I had selected a pair of gold earring to buy in gold souk. Shopkeeper told the final rate to be double of actual gold quantity. We will have to bargain. But even then, it won't be as plain as just gold rate. So I believe making charges are there, even though explicitly not mentioned. I personally dropped the idea of buying in gold souk as I didn't have time or patience to bargain.

      Officially you can't get gold to India unless you stayed in Dubai for one year at least. But unofficially you can get, but wear it and don't keep in bag. Don't buy too much and wear, because then all eyes will be on you! Just as a memory you can get small quantity.
