Rebar price per ton in the UAE: 8 mm to 32 mm

Published rebar rates, checked 10 November 2026

The table keeps every UAE rebar-per-ton figure printed on a page opened for this guide. QS Mind’s market day is 9 November 2026, in Dubai, in dirhams, and each row has its own collected date. Emirates Steel rebar 12–32 mm, grade B500B, is the official ex-works list before volume discounts and size or grade extras, delivery excluded, AED 2,921 per ton excluding 5% VAT, collected 2 November 2026. The same page’s retailer rows, collected 9 November 2026 and also excluding 5% VAT, are AED 4,469 for 12 mm × 12 m, AED 4,729 for 16 mm × 12 m, AED 4,469 for 20 mm × 12 m and AED 4,420 for 25 mm × 12 m. A Dubai dealer average for 12 mm and 16 mm is AED 3,000 per ton, collected 23 October 2026, with VAT, delivery and payment terms not stated. Those rows are not averaged. A shop ton is not the mill list.

Imported 12–32 mm is AED 2,825 per ton, Dubai dealer, delivery excluded, VAT not stated, collected 2 November 2026. Omani deformed rebar B500B, 12–32 mm, is the same AED 2,825, same date and the same VAT line. Conares B500B, 12–32 mm, is AED 2,925, collected 2 October 2026, VAT not stated, delivery excluded. Hamriyah Steel, the same specification and basis, is AED 2,900, collected 2 October 2026. Emirates Steel 10 mm, including the size extra over 12–32 mm, is AED 3,000, and 8 mm is AED 3,230, both Dubai dealer prices, delivery excluded, VAT not stated, collected 23 October 2026. Quanto prints Emsteel delivered, 10–40 mm, to Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates, at AED 2,936.00 per tonne excluding VAT for October 2026, and calls it a monthly mill price, delivered. The same page prints September, August and July 2026 at 2,936.00 and June 2026 at 2,836.00. The months are not averaged, and 2,936 is not averaged with the ex-works 2,921 because the diameter range and the delivery basis differ. GCCPricing’s 10 mm row is AED 2,700.00 per ton, supply only, a reference parity, last updated 26 October 2026. The governance note says the UAE figure is a calibrated parity, not a verified merchant survey. It is not averaged with AED 3,000. EMSTEEL’s own rebar price table, opened the same day, printed no dirham in the text that loaded. It did print that the price excludes any volume discount, any size or grade extra, and any surcharge such as a raw-material surcharge. Mesh, tie wire and cover spacers on the QS Mind page are not priced per ton of bar, so they are not in this table.

Per kilogram and per 12 m bar

Kilograms per metre ≈ D²/162 when D is in millimetres. The steel weight per metre chart rounds that shortcut to three decimals and rounds D²/162 × 12 to three decimals separately, so a 12 mm bar is 0.889 kg/m and 10.667 kg for 12 m, not 12 × 0.889. This page multiplies the chart’s 12 m mass by one printed price per ton, then divides by 1,000. That product is this page’s arithmetic. It is not a price the source printed per bar. The list price of AED 2,921 is for 12–32 mm, so it is not applied to 8 mm or 10 mm. Those diameters use the dealer rows that name them. A retailer ton is a different offer from the list, so its bar product stays on its own line.

At AED 2,921 per ton, the price per kg is 2.921. Then 10.667 × 2.921 = AED 31.158307 for a 12 mm bar, 18.963 × 2.921 = AED 55.390923 for 16 mm, 29.630 × 2.921 = AED 86.549230 for 20 mm, 46.296 × 2.921 = AED 135.230616 for 25 mm, and 75.852 × 2.921 = AED 221.563692 for 32 mm. The retailer tons, using the same chart masses, are 10.667 × 4.469 = AED 47.670823, 18.963 × 4.729 = AED 89.676027, 29.630 × 4.469 = AED 132.416470 and 46.296 × 4.420 = AED 204.628320. The 8 mm dealer price is 4.741 × 3.230 = AED 15.313430 per 12 m bar. The 10 mm dealer price is 7.407 × 3.000 = AED 22.221. None of those lines is added to another. Cut-and-bend, laps and offcuts are not inside D²/162. Weigh a schedule in the steel weight calculator.

What moves the price

Diameter is a different product, not a discount on the same ton. The 12–32 mm list is AED 2,921. The 8 mm dealer row that includes the size extra is AED 3,230, and the 10 mm dealer row is AED 3,000. A 16 mm retailer ton is AED 4,729 while the 12 mm retailer ton is AED 4,469. Ask the yard to price the diameters on the schedule, not a blended ton. Grade is part of the same question. The QS Mind rows used here are B500B to BS 4449. A Grade 60 bar from a Saudi mill is a different specification and is not given a dirham on these pages.

VAT and delivery are why two true readings of the same week still disagree. The list and the retailer tons exclude 5% VAT. The dealer, imported, Omani, Conares and Hamriyah rows do not state VAT. Quanto excludes VAT and says the AED 2,936 is delivered. The list says delivery is excluded. GCCPricing says supply only. EMSTEEL’s own page, which did not print a dirham when it was opened, says the price excludes volume discounts, size and grade extras, and a raw-material surcharge. QS Mind says the price on an order changes with quantity, supplier, payment terms and delivery point. No opened page printed an AED per kilometre. A November rollover headline on Mesteel, published 23 October 2026, was opened and did not print a dirham, so November is not given a number here.

• Emirate and address: a Dubai dealer row is not a price for Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah unless the page names that place.
• Basis: ex-works, delivered, and a shop ton stay on separate rows.
• VAT: use the line the page prints. Do not add 5% to a row that already excludes it, and do not add 5% to a row that does not say.
• Extras: size extras, cut-and-bend and a surcharge are outside the list until the quote writes them in.

How to estimate tonnes for a villa

No opened price page printed a tonne count for a villa. The order is the bar bending schedule. Until that schedule exists, the early mass by element is on rebar kilograms per cubic metre. That page’s solid-slab example is a 10 × 8 m slab at 0.2 m, which is 16 m³, at 32–91 kg/m³, which is 0.512–1.456 tonnes. Those tonnes are a budget for that slab, not a G+1 villa, and they already exclude a second waste percentage. Beams, columns, footings and walls are separate bands on that page. Add the elements you actually have, then multiply the total tonnes by one price from the table above. Do not multiply by two prices and add the products.

Using only the ex-works list, 0.512 × 2,921 = AED 1,495.552 and 1.456 × 2,921 = AED 4,252.976. Using only the 12 mm retailer ton, 0.512 × 4,469 = AED 2,288.128 and 1.456 × 4,469 = AED 6,506.864. Those are alternative prices for the same slab budget. They are not a villa total and they are not added. Measure the slab in the concrete slab calculator. If the drawing is still open, the tonne count has to be checked with the engineer, and the dirham has to be checked with the supplier for the address, the diameters and the delivery.

Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the other emirates

A city split is stated only where the page states one. QS Mind prices Dubai. Quanto’s delivered row names Dubai, Sharjah and the Northern Emirates at one figure, AED 2,936 per tonne, and does not split those places. The mill address on the EMSTEEL page is Abu Dhabi Industrial City, Musaffah. That page did not print a second retail price for Abu Dhabi. No rebar dirham per ton was opened for Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah or Fujairah, so those emirates depend on the quote.

The same GCCPricing page prints Qatar Y10 at QAR 2,850.00 per ton as a verified local rate, and Saudi Y10 at SAR 2,500.00 as a reference parity. Neither figure is a dirham, and neither is converted here. The Saudi readings that were opened, including the statistics ton and the Riyadh dealer ton, are on rebar price per ton in Saudi Arabia.

Related quantity and price pages

The chart and the density assumption stay on steel weight per metre. The element bands, and where those sources disagree, stay on rebar kilograms per cubic metre. A villa budget that still needs a steel quantity is villa construction cost in the UAE. The three-country table is GCC construction cost per m² 2026. Ready-mix in dirhams is concrete price per m³ in the UAE. The other GCC construction guides stay on quantities unless they name a price.

The Arabic page is سعر حديد التسليح للطن في الإمارات.
