EGP Rate as of2026-05-17 USD to EGP Converter.
1 USD = 48.5 EGP as of 2026-05-17. Egypt is the world's 5th largest remittance recipient (~$22 billion/year), primarily from Egyptian workers in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and the US. EGP has lost ~67% of its value against USD over 5 years due to multiple devaluations (2022, 2023, March 2024) tied to IMF program requirements. The March 2024 free float (after years of de facto pegs) was followed by IMF's $8B extended program and CBE rate hikes to 27%.

Why people convert USD to EGP.
The USD/EGP corridor is driven mostly by global reserve currency and remittances from US-based workers. On the Egyptian Pound side, demand comes from MENA remittances, tourism, and Suez trade. Because both sides see steady two-way flow, USD/EGP is one of the more liquid pairs in this region — which usually means tighter spreads and smaller markups than thinly-traded exotic pairs.
Over the past 12 months the US Dollar has moved down 2.4% against the Egyptian Pound, and over five years it has strengthened about 208.9% (from 15.7 to 48.5). If you're sending money on this corridor, that trend matters: a rising rate means timing your transfer — or locking a rate with a forward contract for large amounts — can change the Egyptian Pound you receive by a meaningful margin.
Getting the best USD → EGP rate. The figure above is the mid-market rate — the "true" rate banks and brokers reference. Most banks add a 1–3% margin on top and may charge a flat wire fee. Specialist services (Wise, Remitly, and regional exchange houses on this corridor) typically convert closer to mid-market. Always compare the effective rate after all fees, not just the headline rate — on a large USD transfer, a 2% difference is real money.
