Our most recent recorded snapshot, for 2026-09-10, put the 24K gram at 7,207.8 EGP to buy and 7,107.8 EGP to sell back.
| Reading | Sell | Buy-back |
|---|---|---|
| 24K gram | 7,207.8 | 7,107.8 |
| 22K gram (derived at 22/24 from the recorded 24K) | 6,607.2 | 6,507.2 |
| 21K gram | 6,306.9 | 6,206.9 |
| 18K gram | 5,405.9 | 5,305.9 |
| Gold pound — 8 g of 21K (derived) | 50,455 | 49,655 |
| Silver 999 gram | 108.2 | — |
| USD/EGP | 51.30 EGP per dollar | — |
These are the figures this site recorded for 2026-09-10: each is the average of the prices we sampled across that day, stored as-is and never rewritten afterwards. They are reference metal prices — a shop adds workmanship and its own margin on top, and workmanship is not recovered when you sell.
The buy-back column is this site's own reference, not a dealer quote: we set it a fixed 100.0 EGP per gram below the recorded sell price on every karat, because we do not observe what individual shops bid. What a particular dealer pays you may be more or less.
The 22K row is derived: the recorded 24K gram multiplied by 22/24, with the same 100.0 EGP per-gram gap applied to its buy-back, because our series does not record 22K separately.
Each row below is the recorded reference metal value for that weight — what the gold alone is worth at the figures above, excluding workmanship and dealer margin. The buy-back column applies this site's own fixed reference gap rather than an observed dealer bid, and no dealer is bound to transact at either figure.
| Weight | At the recorded sell price | At the recorded buy-back |
|---|---|---|
| 1 g | 7,208 | 7,108 |
| 5 g | 36,039 | 35,539 |
| 10 g | 72,078 | 71,078 |
| 20 g | 144,156 | 142,156 |
| 50 g | 360,390 | 355,390 |
| 100 g | 720,780 | 710,780 |

The 24K gold price in Egypt today is shown live at the top of this page. 24K is 99.9% pure gold and is the reference from which every other karat quoted in Egypt is derived — 22K at 22/24, 21K at 0.875, 18K at 0.75. If you know the 24K gram and the purity ratio, you can reproduce any dealer's karat quote yourself.
How the Egyptian gram is formed. The number is arithmetic rather than sentiment: international ounce price (USD) × USD/EGP ÷ 31.1035. One troy ounce is 31.1034768 grams, not the 28.35 g everyday ounce — a common source of error when people check the maths. Because both inputs move continuously, a shift in the dollar rate moves the Egyptian gram just as surely as a move in international spot does, and a day where global gold is flat but the pound weakens still produces a higher EGP price.
Why 24K is the saving instrument. 24K is too soft for jewelry that gets worn, so in Egypt it is bought as bars and coins. That is also what makes it efficient: on resale you are paid for essentially the full weight, whereas 21K loses 12.5% of weight to alloy and 18K loses 25%, and worked jewelry additionally never recovers its workmanship. Bar premiums scale inversely with size — small bars (1 g, 2.5 g, 5 g) carry a proportionally higher minting premium than a 50 g or 100 g bar, so buying one large bar costs less per gram of gold than the same weight in small ones.
Practical notes for buyers. Ask for the bar's assay certificate and check that the stamped weight, purity and serial match it — this is what preserves resale value. Compare the dealer's buy-back price at the same moment you compare the sell price, since the gap between them is the true cost of holding. To convert between grams, kilos and troy ounces at the live rate, use this site's gram-to-ounce converter; to compare bar sizes and premiums, use the bullion page.

24K is 99.9% pure and is bought as bars and coins for saving. 21K is 87.5% pure, harder because of the alloy, and is the standard for Egyptian jewelry that gets worn. 21K is priced at exactly 0.875 × the 24K gram.
International ounce price in USD × the USD/EGP rate ÷ 31.1035 grams per troy ounce. Dealer margin is then added on top of that reference figure.
For pure saving, yes — it loses the least on resale because you are paid for essentially the full weight, with no alloy discount and no workmanship to write off. It is too soft for jewelry that is worn regularly.
Per gram of gold, yes. Minting costs are largely fixed per bar, so a 1 g or 5 g bar carries a proportionally higher premium than a 50 g or 100 g bar of the same purity.
That the assay certificate is present and that the weight, purity and serial number stamped on the bar match it. Also compare the dealer's buy-back price at the same time as the sell price — that spread is the real cost of holding.
