Gold prices have experienced varying trends across several Middle Eastern markets in late October 2026.

In Yemen and Jordan, prices rose. In Yemen, 21-karat gold reached approximately 176,000 Yemeni riyals per gram in Aden and 60,400 riyals in Sanaa, reflecting structural exchange rate differences between the north and south. In Jordan, the General Syndicate of Owners of Jewelry and Gold Shops reported increases, with 21-karat gold selling at 81.600 Jordanian dinars per gram.

In Palestine and Egypt, the market showed mixed movement. Palestinian 21-karat gold prices rose to approximately 351.78 shekels. Conversely, Egypt saw a slight decline of about 15 Egyptian pounds for 21-karat gold, though experts suggested a gradual increase might follow, indicating a potential period for investment.
