Gold Prices Rise in Sana'a and Aden on Monday, Nov 9, 2026
Gold prices saw a slight increase in Sana'a and Aden on Monday, compared to previous days.
The price of a 21-karat gold gram in Aden reached about 178,000 Yemeni rials in the new currency, while in Sana'a it reached about 61,000 rials in the old currency.
As for the gold sovereign (8 grams of 21-karat gold), its price exceeded 1,440,000 rials in Aden, while in Sana'a it surpassed 494,000 rials.
These prices are for buying gold from citizens, while they increase slightly 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 US 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 should be noted 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.
