Gold Prices Fall in Sana'a and Aden on Saturday, October 24, 2026
Gold prices saw a relative decline on Saturday in both Sana'a and Aden, despite slight variations from one shop to another.
The price of a 21-karat gold gram in Aden reached about 175,000 Yemeni rials of the new currency, while in Sana'a it reached 60,000 rials of the old currency.
As for the gold sovereign (8 grams, 21-karat), its price exceeded 1,412,000 rials in Aden, while it surpassed 484,000 rials in Sana'a.
These are the prices for buying from citizens, while they are slightly higher when sold to customers, as a profit margin is added for each gram of the yellow metal.
The exchange rate of the local currency differs between Houthi-controlled areas and areas under government influence; the dollar exchange rate in Sana'a is about 535 rials, compared to 1,560 rials in areas controlled by the internationally recognized government.
It should be noted that gold prices change from time to time and vary relatively from one shop to another in Yemen's markets, depending on global and local market trends, as well as supply and demand.
