The market records no new session for this date. Gold prices in Egypt do not update on Fridays or Saturdays. This break is standard for the industry. Because no trading takes place today, the figures remain static until the start of the next business week.
Gold traders and retail shops follow a schedule that excludes Friday and Saturday. This means our records show no movement for this date. The last recorded data remains the official reference until the market resumes operations.
Anyone looking to buy or sell gold should wait for the market to open again. Shops are generally closed or not processing new pricing updates during this time. Transaction costs and the spread between buying and selling prices will not change until the next official session is recorded.
If you are planning to visit a jeweler, please note that today is not a business day for the gold market. Shops may be closed, and there is no new official price reference to guide your transaction. It is best to wait for the next market session to ensure you have the most current figures for your purchase or sale. Check back when the market reopens to see the latest recorded prices.

21K gold is about 6,340 EGP per gram to sell and 6,240 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 × 6,340 = 50,720 EGP, before workmanship, stamping or tax.
That 100 EGP per gram is the fixed reference this site subtracts from the recorded sell price, not an observed dealer spread: we do not track what individual shops bid, and what a particular dealer pays you may be more or less. 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.
