Historical Rate changes of the Egyptian Pound against the Shekel

In the last 3 months, the value of the Egyptian Pound against the Shekel has fallen by -32.46%. However, there is a break in the trend as the Egyptian Pound has gained strength against the Shekel since last week. With regard to recent valuations 3 months ago, the Egyptian Pound equaled 0.12 Shekels and is now worth 0.08 Shekels. The decline in the Egyptian Pound's value does not favor consumers or travelers visiting Israel at the moment. You will receive less Shekels for each Egyptian Pound you exchange, thereby reducing your buying power while visiting. The trend history chart illustrates these recent changes.

Travel Tip

Before vacationing, we recommended you exchange Egyptian Pounds to Shekels, or other currencies, at your local bank or credit union, as you will, in general, get much better exchange rates than you would at airport kiosks, where rate hikes are common and expected. Although conveniently located at your port of entry, currency exchange kiosks will also charge convenience fees per transaction. Another option to save money while vacationing is to pay any charges you incur with a "no-foreign-transaction-fee-credit-card".
