Dollar buy and sell rates today in Egypt, 30 September 2026

Foreign currency rates against the Egyptian pound were updated again today, 30 September 2026, with households and importers alike watching the dollar for its direct effect on prices. The US dollar was quoted at about 52.09 pounds, the euro near 59.09 pounds and sterling around 68.91 pounds. Among Gulf currencies, the Saudi riyal stood close to 13.89 pounds and the UAE dirham near 14.18 pounds. Across the rest of the region, the Kuwaiti dinar remained the highest valued at roughly 168.89 pounds, followed by the Bahraini dinar at about 138.54, the Omani rial near 135.48, the Qatari riyal around 14.31 and the Jordanian dinar close to 73.47 pounds. Card rates on foreign purchases differ from the cash rate. The global networks add a small margin to each transaction, which usually appears on the statement two or three days later. Analysts advise against pricing off the parallel market and recommend checking official bank rates before any transfer or import, to avoid unpleasant gaps. 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.
