The purchase of the Saudi riyal was 240 pounds compared to 250 pounds for sale, at a time when the purchase price of the Egyptian pound was recorded at 22 pounds purcahse compared to 23 pounds for sale. The UAE dirham purchase price was 245 pounds, while the selling price was 250 pounds, and the purchase price of the Qatari riyal was 240 pounds, while its selling price was 250 pounds.
