Gold Prices Rise in Sana'a and Aden Today, November 2, 2026
Gold prices saw a rise in Sana'a and Aden on Monday, despite slight variations from one shop to another.
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 pound (8 grams of 21-karat), its price exceeded 1,395,000 rials in Aden, while it surpassed 479,000 rials in Sana'a.
These are the prices 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 the 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 Yemen's markets, depending on global and local market movements, as well as supply and demand.
