From your gold to your cash, in four steps
We show you the result of every step — the purity reading, the weight, and the maths — before you agree to anything.
Test
Your gold is tested by XRF at a verified testing point in the Souq while you wait — and we show you the exact purity reading.
Weigh
It is weighed on a calibrated scale at the counter, and you see the weight that goes into your quote.
Quote
We calculate from the live Dubai spot rate for your karat and show you the maths — no surprise deductions.
Get paid
Agree the price and get paid the same visit — cash up to the legal limit, or a same-day bank transfer for larger amounts.
How your price is worked out
Your price starts from the live Dubai spot rate for your karat — the same rate we show across this site. We test the purity, weigh it on a calibrated scale, and show you the maths before you agree. Hallmarked bars and coins sit closest to the live rate. Jewellery is paid on its gold content — the making charges you paid when you bought it are not recoverable, and that is true at every honest dealer.
Fair — this is normal
- Making charges on jewellery are not paid back — you are paid for the gold content (true at every honest dealer).
- A small, transparent testing and verification step before the price is set.
- Scrap that tests impure is paid on its actual gold content after cleaning.
Red flags — walk away
- A "testing fee", "handling fee" or "wastage" taken on top of the rate.
- Refusing to show you the XRF reading, or quoting a price before your gold is tested.
- A price quoted before your gold has been weighed.
- Pressure to decide on the spot, or a different rate "because you are a tourist".

What to expect by type
Different gold sells differently. Here is the honest picture before you walk in.
What to bring
Your Emirates ID or passport
Required by law for gold transactions in Dubai. A passport alone is fine for tourists.
Your gold
Any condition — boxed bars, worn jewellery, broken chains, loose coins or scrap.
Receipt (optional)
Nice to have, never required. We pay on tested weight and purity, not paperwork.
Why sell to Saqlain Bullion
The differences are things you can check, not slogans.
In the Gold Souq since 2013
A real shop (Shop No. 4, opposite the Women’s Museum) — not a doorstep buyer or a mall kiosk. Walk in, look us in the eye, decide at the counter.
You see the exact karat
Your gold is tested by XRF and the reading is shown to you before any price is agreed. We test so you see the truth — never to talk your gold down.
We buy what others skip
Inherited pieces, broken chains, odd-karat gold, overseas coins, unmarked scrap. If it is gold or silver, we will test it and make an offer.
Cash or same-day transfer
Cash up to the legal limit, or a same-day bank transfer above it. No obligation to take jewellery in exchange for your gold.
Priced on the live rate
Your quote is tied to the day’s spot rate — the same live rate we show across this site. The price depends on the gold, not on who you are.
No pressure, ever
Check the rate first, ask questions, and decline at any point. A fair offer holds up to scrutiny — so we welcome it.
Selling gold in Dubai — your questions
It is based on the live spot rate for your karat, minus the small cost of testing and verification. Send your karat and approximate weight on WhatsApp for a live indicative quote.
No. We buy on tested weight and purity, so the receipt is optional. Just bring a valid Emirates ID or passport.
A valid Emirates ID or passport — that is it. ID is a legal requirement for gold transactions in Dubai.
Yes. A passport is enough — you do not need UAE residency or a local bank account to sell gold here.
Yes. We test everything, so the stamp does not set the price — the actual gold content does. Broken chains, single earrings, and unmarked pieces are all fine.
No — and any dealer who says otherwise is misleading you. You are paid for the gold content; the design and workmanship you paid for originally are not recoverable. This is true at every honest dealer.
Your gold is tested by XRF at a verified testing point in the Souq while you wait, and we show you the exact reading before you agree to a price. The result decides the price — no guessing.
Both. We pay cash up to the legal limit, or a same-day bank transfer for larger amounts. There is no obligation to take jewellery in exchange.
No. As an individual selling your own gold, you do not charge or pay VAT on the sale.
Usually about 15–20 minutes: test, weigh, calculate, agree, and pay. Walk in with your gold and you can leave with the cash the same visit.
Yes — bars, coins, and 925 sterling silver, priced on the live silver rate.
Yes. Walk in with your gold and ID; we test, quote, and pay the same day, so you can settle before you fly.
