Egyptian Currency Market Overview
Egypt's currency exchange market is one of the most dynamic in the Middle East and North Africa region. The Egyptian banking system includes over 30 commercial and Islamic banks, each setting their own exchange rates based on Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) guidance, interbank market conditions, and local supply and demand. The spread between the best and worst rates can range from 0.5% to over 2%, meaning your choice of bank can save you a significant amount on every transaction.

Why 3omlla?
In Egypt, every bank sets its own exchange rate, and those rates can differ noticeably from one bank to the next and change several times a day. For anyone converting savings, receiving remittances from abroad, or planning a trip, finding the best rate by hand means opening dozens of websites — slow, and easy to miss the best deals.
3omlla solves this by aggregating exchange rates from all major Egyptian banks on one continuously updated page. We don't sell currency or run an exchange service — we provide a neutral, free comparison tool to help you make an informed decision. Learn how we collect our data.
Comprehensive bank coverage
We track 30+ Egyptian banks in one place — from the large retail banks to specialist institutions — so you see the whole market instead of a single bank.
Frequently updated
Rates are collected automatically from official bank websites throughout banking hours, so the numbers you see are fresh rather than a stale snapshot.
Side-by-side comparison
Instead of opening each bank's website separately, compare buy and sell rates across every bank in one table and find the best rate in seconds.
Transparent data
We disclose our sources, update frequency and data limitations on our methodology page, so you always know where the numbers come from.

Key factors include: CBE monetary policy and interest rate decisions, foreign currency reserves, tourism revenue, remittances from Egyptians abroad, foreign direct investment, global commodity prices (especially oil and wheat), and international economic conditions.
