Continued Decline in Gold Prices in Sana'a and Aden, Friday, November 13, 2026
Gold prices saw a notable decline on Friday in Sana'a and Aden compared to previous days.
The price of a gram of 21-karat gold in Aden reached about 170,000 Yemeni rials in the new currency, while in Sana'a it reached about 58,000 rials in the old currency.
As for the gold guinea (8 grams of 21-karat gold), its price in Aden exceeded 1,377,000 rials, while in Sana'a it surpassed 473,000 rials.
These are the prices for buying gold from citizens, while they are slightly higher when sold to customers, as a profit margin is calculated for each gram of the yellow metal.
The exchange rate of the local currency differs between Houthi-controlled areas and government-controlled areas; the dollar exchange rate in Sana'a is about 535 rials, compared to 1,560 rials in areas under the control of 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 the Yemeni markets, depending on global and local market movement, supply, and demand.
