Live Egyptian gold prices for Saturday 29 August 2026: 21K 6,375 EGP/g sell (6,275 buy), 24K 7,285.8 EGP/g, gold pound 51,000 EGP, USD/EGP 50.25.
The Egyptian retail market held steady today. Reference gram levels recorded at publication time:
| Karat | Sell (EGP/g) | Buy-back (EGP/g) |
|---|---|---|
| 24K | 7,285.8 | 7,185.8 |
| 22K | 6,678.5 | 6,578.5 |
| 21K | 6,375 | 6,275 |
| 18K | 5,464.3 | 5,364.3 |
The Egyptian gram is arithmetic, not sentiment: international ounce × USD/EGP ÷ 31.1035, scaled by karat purity. At $4,455.54 an ounce and 50.25 EGP to the dollar, that produces the 24K gram above before any dealer margin. Everything a shop quotes on top of that is margin and workmanship. The buy-back column is 100 EGP below the sell price on every karat — the fixed spread applied across the local market. That gap, not the daily headline change, is the real cost of a round trip: on 21K it is roughly more than a normal daily move.

21K gold is about 6,375 EGP per gram to sell and 6,275 EGP buy-back at publication time. Shop prices add workmanship on top of the raw metal value.
The gold pound weighs 8 grams of 21K, so its raw value today is 8 × 6,375 = 51,000 EGP, before workmanship, stamping or tax.
That 100 EGP per gram is the dealer spread applied across the Egyptian retail market — the margin that covers the shop's risk and handling. It is your real cost of entering and exiting a position.
Together with USD/EGP, yes. The gram equals the ounce in dollars times the exchange rate divided by 31.1035, adjusted for karat purity — so a stable pound passes global moves through one-for-one.
