    Egypt is a multi layered economic community... so it depends on where do you intend to spend your $1 (LE5.7)

    So just to give you an idea I'll give examples of extremes.

    $1 can buy you

    114 Loaves of subsidized bread Vs 3 French baguettes.

    8 Foul/ Falafel sandwiches or a large meal of Koshary from a low standard restaurant Vs 1/2 cup of mineral water in an upmarket restaurant.

    11 refills of Shisha (Hookah) in a popular cafe... Vs 1/2 shisha in a cafe at a 5 stars hotel.

    22 public bus rides - 5 Subway rides - 5km taxi ride

    So welcome to Egypt... Whichever Egypt you chose to spend your $1 in.
