1, gold products
The unit price of gold in Dubai is cheaper than that in China, but the gold ornaments here are basically not pure gold, usually 18K or 22K. However, because Arabs like glittering and exaggerated gold jewelry too much, the gold jewelry here is excellent in stitching, carving and diamond inlay. Very beautiful, full of Middle Eastern flavor. However, because the style here is very exaggerated, you may not be able to take it home. You can buy it as a souvenir, or you can find some gold ornaments that are more in line with China's national conditions.
Interested friends can go to Jinjie to buy jewelry. Jinjie is a regular shop, and there is no counterfeiting problem. 18k is about 160 dirhams per gram, and 22k is about 19 1 dirhams per gram, plus the manual fee. In fact, everyone has to halve the manual fee and let them know that you have done research.
