Significant Gold Price Drop in Sana'a and Aden, Nov. 12, 2026
Gold prices witnessed a significant decline in Sana'a and Aden on Thursday, compared to previous days.
The price of a 21-karat gold gram in Aden reached about 173,000 Yemeni rials in the new currency, while in Sana'a it reached about 59,000 rials in the old currency.
As for the gold sovereign (8 grams of 21-karat gold), its price exceeded 1,400,000 rials in Aden, while in Sana'a it surpassed 481,000 rials.
These prices are for buying gold from citizens, and they increase slightly when sold to customers, as a profit margin is calculated for each gram of the yellow metal.
The local currency exchange rate differs between Houthi-controlled areas and government-controlled areas; the exchange rate for the dollar in Sana'a is about 535 rials, compared to 1,560 rials in areas under the internationally recognized government.
It is worth noting that gold prices change from time to time and vary relatively from one shop to another in Yemeni markets, depending on global and local market movement, supply, and demand.
