I don’t know about silver, but for gold there was infa that the Egyptian government imposed a ban on the export of gold from the country. Most curious, what does this mean? If I enter the country with my gold, do I need to declare it in order to take it back?
In general, I, as a knowledgeable lover of this business, rejected gold jewelry in Egypt, both in price and quality.
It will even be interesting what other "tupravdovtsy" will say about this.

jabetta, I support you, there are very few gold items worthy of attention.
And then, you don’t know the real price, and not everyone likes to bargain until you lose your pulse, as a result, you leave with the feeling that you were greatly swindled.

Gold is now prohibited from being exported from Egypt.
Yes, it's not worth it - base and clumsy work. As for silver, the jewelry is not very high quality. I saw a good dish (although what kind of silver it is made of, and silver and this is actually another question).
Therefore, I do not advise buying anything from jewelry in Egypt (IMHO).

It is better to buy silver in Jordan, and the quality and beauty is indescribable, though not cheap, but it's worth it. There are products at a lower price, but the quality is excellent.
Jewelry made of gold in Egypt is of stunning beauty, but not in shops in Sharm, such jewelry can be seen in Cairo and other big cities, and the cost is also outrageous. For example, a set of gold and diamonds, earrings, a ring, a pendant around the neck, a bracelet on the hand costs nothing at all 12,000 pounds.

Sorry, but I also looked at jewelry in Cairo, and in a large jewelry supermarket - the quality does not stand up to criticism!
There is only one conclusion - it is not worth going there for gold. Even if you find masterpieces of jewelry art there, you won’t be able to save money.

Maybe you were brought to the gold stores, which carry all the tourists? I was there too, but like you I didn’t see anything beautiful, but in another city I couldn’t leave the gold jewelry store.
Do you want me to send a photo of jewelry made of silver (Jordan) and gold in Yenipte?

12000 what pounds - Egyptian? 1000 Euro for ring+earrings+pendant+diamond bracelet? It's a ball! Or a lie, which is more like the truth :))))
I have not seen good jewelry in Egypt for sale. Arab women come across very worthy jewelry, but you either need to know the place, or they buy in other Arab countries.
There is now a ban on the export of gold, you need to declare yours upon entry.

Thanks for the tip.
12,000 pounds is approximately 1,600 euros, if you count euros at 7.5.

Yes, there are expensive gold jewelry, and you should not think that the same Arab women do not buy it in Egypt.
By the way, in the same duty free at the airport of departure in Sharm, 3 years ago I saw jewelry made of gold with diamonds, and the price was normal.

12,000 pounds (two years ago), the cost of 1 dollar at that time was 5.4, which means 2,200 dollars. The normal price, now Egyptian gold has risen in price, and the same set, or something like that, already costs 14,000 pounds.
For comparison - for this money you can buy in Egypt an excellent quality furniture bedroom set.
Now the euro is 8.2 pounds.

asya_sharm, judging by your answers, do you want to say that it makes sense to go to Egypt for gold? As far as I understand, this is the question that interests krimchanin, there is no need to confuse a person. krimchanin! My good advice to you: do not plan anything like that for a trip to Egypt (it is strange that you did not ask this question in a forum in which you are very actively involved) jewelry shopping, there is something to enjoy without it.
Have a good trip!

Egypt has imposed a ban on the export of gold and jewelry.
According to the source, the embargo applies to gold bars, jewelry, as well as any products made of precious metal. The ban will be in effect for four months - until June 30 of this year.

Coming just to rest in the resort area, you can’t buy normal gold or silver. Actually, this is the case in any country and you just need to know the places where you can buy something. You can go to Sri Lanka or Thailand and bring beautiful stones, but to buy quality stones, you need to go to the RIGHT places. So, just for beauty, you can buy. So I join asya_sharm.

Thank you all for the detailed answers. The purpose of the trip to Egypt, of course, is not to buy gold, but to rest. I just heard that it is cheaper there, so I thought, so to speak, combine the rest with the purchase, but from all the answers, I realized that this not worth doing.

Gold there is of very poor quality, but not by sample, but by alloy. So it's better not to.

I agree, the gold is terrible quality. Yes, and silver is not better (at home she wore products to a jeweler). But still I buy silver jewelry if I see an interesting work. True, in search I can rummage through the entire shop. In the summer I brought two awesome silver bracelets and earrings to a friend, all my friends are still delighted. But I repeat, we must carefully search and bargain.

Gold of good quality is more expensive than ours, but I do not advise you to take an alloy with a good breakdown, we are not willing to take it for repairs.
Silver is found and of good quality, bracelets of interesting work, but bargaining for an acceptable price is very tiring - that they will knock down the hunt.

when the seller in the shop offered to buy my chain and pendant or exchange it for their own products, I realized that they still value Russian gold ... I like powerful openwork bracelets from silver

My IMHO, gold is an amateur here, because there is both Italian and Egyptian stamping and handmade. I wear both our and their gold, yes, there are beautiful products, but all this needs to be looked for, and even better, make it to order, I made the pendant to order.
krimchanin, it’s clear that you are on vacation, and not here for gold, walk around the shops and for the sake of curiosity see for yourself what gold is here and the price for it, and then draw conclusions for yourself.

I got the impression that the Egyptians themselves are not enthusiastic about local silver. The reason for this is my heavy silver chain and bracelet. Several times it happened that in the shops I was asked to sell a bracelet (for some reason they are more interested in it than a chain), and the price was offered approximately the same as it costs with us, even a little higher. I asked why - they answered that they did not have such silver.

I personally don't like the design. There is nothing for the eye to fall on, solid coinage. And yes, the price is outrageous. And as they already said here, I don’t know how to bargain until I lose my pulse, I don’t want to, and it annoys me to the point of rage. It really does feel like you're being fooled.

If you come across a cute little thing, buy and do not bother your head.
Three years ago, Zheta really wanted a ring with a huge number of pebbles for $ 220, they bargained for $ 185, because. pregnant women should not be denied
A year later, in Kyiv, they decided to check - the pawnshop offered about $ 200))
Decide for yourself whether to buy or not.
