Slight Rise in Gold Prices in Sana'a and Aden on Wednesday, October 28, 2026
Gold prices saw a slight increase on Wednesday, both in Sana'a and Aden, despite a slight variation from one shop to another.
The price of a 21-karat gold gram in Aden reached about 177,000 Yemeni rials in the new currency, while in Sana'a it reached about 61 rials in the old currency.
As for the gold sovereign (8 grams of 21-karat gold), its price exceeded 1,433,000 rials in Aden, while it surpassed 491,000 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 areas under government influence; 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 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 movement, and supply and demand.
