Egypt Gold Market — Khan el-Khalili
Khan el-Khalili in Cairo is one of the Arab world's most famous gold souks — a 14th-century bazaar that has traded gold and jewelry for 600+ years. Egypt is the Arab world's most populous country with deep cultural ties to gold as a store of wealth, dowry, and investment.
Egypt produces gold domestically from mines in the Eastern Desert (notably the Sukari mine). The country consumes approximately 20–30 tonnes of gold annually for jewelry and investment.
EGP Devaluation and Gold as a Hedge
The Egyptian Pound has experienced significant devaluation since 2022 — driven by the Ukraine war's impact on wheat imports (Egypt is world's largest wheat importer), tourism disruption, and foreign debt pressures. USD/EGP moved from ~15 in 2021 to 30+ in 2023.
This has made gold in EGP dramatically more expensive in nominal terms — but it has also confirmed gold's role as a currency hedge. Egyptians who held gold before the devaluation preserved purchasing power while EGP savings lost 50% in dollar terms.
