Why Tharaa
Owning real gold should not mean a trip to the market.
The usual way
- Visit shops and compare prices
- Negotiate the price and the making charge
- Keep it at home, or pay for a safe
- Go back to sell, and making charges are often not recovered
With Tharaa
- Buy from the app, by amount or by weight
- See the price before you confirm
- Your grams are recorded in your account, with the metal held in secure vault custody
- Sell from the app, or request delivery inside the UAE
Ownership by the gram
Start small. Own it exactly.
Your balance is recorded in grams, not in a bar you have to buy whole. Slide to see how much metal a weight really is.

Clear
Prices before you confirm
Buy and sell prices, and any fees, are shown before every transaction.
Know your gold
Plain answers, before you buy.
Purity, explained
Karat measures how much of an item is pure gold, out of 24 parts. Choose a karat.
100%
Pure gold, 24 of 24 parts. Bars and coins are usually 24K, often marked 999.9 (99.99% pure).
What does 999.9 mean?
It means 999.9 parts in every 1,000 are pure gold, or 99.99%. It is the highest purity commonly used for bars and coins.
Why are the buy and sell prices different?
Every dealer quotes a price to buy from you and a price to sell to you, and the gap covers costs. With Tharaa, both prices and any fees show before you confirm.
Gold or silver?
Both are physical metals with their own price and use. Silver costs less per gram, so the same amount buys more weight. Silver delivery inside the UAE starts at 250 g.
What is a troy ounce?
The unit used to price precious metals worldwide. One troy ounce is 31.1035 grams.

| Storage | Secure vault custody | You store it yourself | Not applicable |
| Price | Shown before you confirm | Usually negotiated | Quoted by the provider |
| Delivery | Inside the UAE, from 1 g of gold | You take it with you | Usually none |
