Currency rates today in Egypt, 1 October 2026: dollar and euro

Foreign currency rates against the Egyptian pound were updated again today, 1 October 2026, with households and importers alike watching the dollar for its direct effect on prices. The US dollar was quoted at about 51.97 pounds, the euro near 58.93 pounds and sterling around 68.94 pounds. Among Gulf currencies, the Saudi riyal stood close to 13.86 pounds and the UAE dirham near 14.15 pounds. Across the rest of the region, the Kuwaiti dinar remained the highest valued at roughly 168.43 pounds, followed by the Bahraini dinar at about 138.21, the Omani rial near 135.15, the Qatari riyal around 14.28 and the Jordanian dinar close to 73.29 pounds. Tourism plays a clearly seasonal role in the currency market in Egypt, with foreign currency inflows rising in peak months and easing outside them — a pattern that sometimes shows in the rate. Spreading income and savings across more than one currency remains one of the simplest protections against exchange-rate swings, particularly for anyone with obligations in a foreign currency. Importers and business owners watch the dollar closely because it feeds directly into the cost of goods and raw materials, and from there into what the shopper pays.
