Our most recent recorded snapshot, for 2026-09-02, put the 21K gram — the karat most jewellery sold in Egypt is made in — at 6,236.3 EGP to buy and 6,136.3 EGP to sell back, and the 24K gram at 7,127.1 EGP. Everything a shop charges above those figures is workmanship and dealer margin.
| Reading | Sell | Buy-back |
|---|---|---|
| 24K gram | 7,127.1 | 7,027.1 |
| 22K gram (derived at 22/24 from the recorded 24K) | 6,533.2 | 6,433.2 |
| 21K gram | 6,236.3 | 6,136.3 |
| 18K gram | 5,345.4 | 5,245.4 |
| Gold pound — 8 g of 21K (derived) | 49,890 | 49,090 |
| Silver 999 gram | 105.7 | — |
| USD/EGP | 51.10 EGP per dollar | — |
These are the figures this site recorded for 2026-09-02: 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 what a dealer pays you, not what you pay. In our record for this date it sits 100.0 EGP per gram below the sell figure on every recorded karat.
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.
The live price this page shows once JavaScript loads is a separate, current figure that refreshes about every five minutes. The tables above are a fixed daily record and do not change after the day is recorded.
Gold prices in Sharm El-Sheikh follow the Egyptian national reference, and the 21K gram is shown live at the top of this page. Main gold shops cluster around Naama Bay, the Old Market, and Hadaba Um El-Sid.
The reference price is the same nationwide; tourist-area workmanship may differ.
