Dubai breaks Guinness record for world’s largest gold bar, weighing over 300kg

Dubai Gold Souk Extension, Dubai's ultimate destination for exquisite gold and fine jewellery, is set to host an extraordinary activation on 7th and 8th December 2024, featuring the world’s largest gold bar, a Guinness World Record-breaking achievement weighing over 300 kilogrammes.

This unprecedented milestone by Essa Al Falasi’s Emirates Minting Factory underscores Dubai's reputation as a global hub for gold and precious metals.

Visitors to the two-day activation will have the rare opportunity to get up close to this record-breaking gold bar, proudly displayed outside the Emirates Minting Factory shop at the Dubai Gold Souk Extension. They can also commemorate the moment with a photo alongside this extraordinary piece of craftsmanship, making history part of their experience.

This activation celebrates Dubai’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the gold and precious metals industry. Inspired by the previous record-holder, a 250-kilogramme gold bar displayed in Japan, the event highlights the critical role of local retailers in enhancing Dubai’s position as a leader in luxury and trade.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness a Guinness World Record achievement up close and celebrate Dubai’s role as the leading destination for gold and jewellery.
