Send money to Egypt from Saudi Arabia, official EGP rate, bank delivery within minutes
More than 1 million Egyptian workers live in Saudi Arabia, concentrated in engineering, construction, medicine, retail, and services. The monthly transfer to Cairo, Alexandria, Assiut, and other governorates is a fixed financial obligation that the family budget depends on.

What it costs to send money to Egypt from Saudi Arabia
Grey applies the official USD-to-EGP rate with transparent fees. Some providers source EGP through unofficial channels, which may appear attractive but carries settlement risk and is outside the regulated framework.
For providers operating on the official rate, compare the EGP amount the recipient receives for an accurate cost comparison.
Rate predictability matters for regular senders to Egypt. Grey locks the rate at confirmation. The EGP amount does not change between sending and receipt.
The most accurate way to compare providers is to enter the same amount on each and compare the local currency amount the recipient actually receives.
For regular senders, even a small rate difference compounds. Grey shows exactly what the recipient receives before you confirm, every time.
How the USD to EGP rate works
The EGP has experienced multiple significant adjustments. Grey applies the official rate at confirmation and locks it.
Grey does not use the parallel market rate. All transfers use the official exchange rate channel, the regulated path for international remittances to Egypt.
Egyptian banks process international credits quickly. The National Bank of Egypt and Bank Misr are typically among the fastest to credit international transfers.
