Gold Market in Egypt

We show gold prices in Egyptian pounds using the “goldsmith dollar” (دولار الصاغة) — the parallel USD/EGP rate traded in Egypt’s gold market, roughly 1–2% above the official bank rate — so they match what goldsmiths actually deal at. Values are shown before making charges and tax.

Egypt has one of the most active gold markets in Africa and the Middle East, deeply tied to cultural traditions — the shabka (gold gift from groom to bride) is a cornerstone of Egyptian weddings. The most popular purity is 21K. After multiple EGP devaluations since 2022, many Egyptians buy gold as an inflation hedge, driving demand even as prices in pounds have surged. The major gold markets are Khan el-Khalili in Cairo and the old bazaars of Alexandria and Aswan. Egypt also produces gold from mines in the Eastern Desert. When buying, confirm whether the shop price includes the full making charge (agr al-san'a).

Frequently Asked Questions

21K gold is 87.5% pure gold. To calculate the price per gram in EGP, DahabPulse multiplies the international spot price (USD/troy oz) by 87.5%, divides by 31.1 (grams per troy oz), then converts using the live EGP/USD exchange rate. Prices update automatically every 10 minutes.

Gold prices on DahabPulse update every 10 minutes using institutional-grade data from TwelveData. Exchange rates update daily. The price shown is the international spot rate converted to EGP — it may differ slightly from dealer prices due to making charges and shop premiums.

Gold bars (ingots) are 24K (999) pure gold and are bought by the gram — common sizes are 1g, 5g, 10g, 50g, 100g, 1 ounce and 1 kilo. The "By bars" table above shows the live 24K metal value for each bar size in EGP. Physical bars carry a small premium over this metal value, which is higher on smaller bars and varies by brand (e.g. PAMP, Emirates Gold).

1 kilo = 1,000 grams, 1 troy ounce = 31.1035 grams, and 1 tola = 11.664 grams. To price any weight, multiply the per-gram price for your karat (in the table above) by the number of grams — e.g. a 10-gram piece = per-gram price × 10.

The price here is the live international gold-content value per gram, converted to EGP. Jewelry shops add a making charge (أجر الصنعة) for craftsmanship, plus VAT where it applies, so the final shop price is higher. The raw gold rate itself is standardized — ask for the making charge separately when comparing shops.

"Dahab" is the Egyptian Arabic word for gold. The live price per gram of dahab today is shown in the table above for every karat — 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K — in Egyptian pounds, updated every 10 minutes from the international market. 21K is the karat most Egyptians buy.

21K gold (87.5% pure) has been Egypt's standard for generations — it balances high purity with the durability needed for intricate handcrafted jewelry. Egyptian goldsmithing tradition favors detailed designs that hold their shape better in 21K than in softer 24K. Most Egyptian jewelry shops price and sell predominantly in 21K.

Many Egyptians buy gold to protect savings from EGP devaluation. Since gold is priced in USD internationally, its EGP value rises when the pound weakens. After major devaluations in 2022–2023, demand for gold surged as a store of value. Note: gold prices also fluctuate based on global factors — this is not financial advice.

Prices on this page refresh every 10 minutes from institutional market data, so the figures track the international spot rate through the trading day rather than being set once each morning. The EGP conversion uses the goldsmith dollar («دولار الصاغة»), the rate Egyptian jewellers actually price against, which is why our figures track shop prices more closely than the official bank rate does.
