Slight Rise in Gold Prices in Sana'a and Aden Today, Tuesday, October 27, 2026
Gold prices saw a slight increase on Tuesday in both Sana'a and Aden, despite minor variations from one shop to another.
The price of a gram of 21-karat gold in Aden reached about 176,000 Yemeni rials of the new currency, while in Sana'a it reached 60,400 rials of the old currency.
As for the gold guinea (8 grams of 21-karat gold), its price exceeded 1,428,000 rials in Aden, while it surpassed 490,000 rials in Sana'a.
These are the prices for buying 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 dollar exchange rate in Sana'a is about 535 rials, compared to 1,560 rials in 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 Yemeni markets, depending on global and local market movement, and supply and demand.
