How fuel prices are formed

Mixed

By decree

Subsidy_distorted

Regulator

Fuel Automatic Pricing Committee / Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources

A committee reviews domestic prices using a formula accounting for Brent, exchange rate and budget targets, but the government does not fully pass through global prices, especially for diesel and LPG. Historically reviews were quarterly, but in October 2024 the next review was postponed by 6 months, and in April 2025 prices were again raised administratively. A `mixed` classification is more practical.

Taxes and levies

Taxes embedded, but budgetary subsidization/cross-subsidization plays the key role.

Subsidies

Yes/partial: especially LPG and partly diesel; in 2025, authorities separately signaled continuing protection of diesel more than gasoline.

The cost per person per night, including permits and equipment, ranges from EGP 800 to 1,500, compared to hotel rates starting at EGP 5,000. Reserves were fully booked 48 hours before the holiday. The season is estimated to have created over 2,000 direct and indirect jobs for local communities, including guides, equipment rental, and catering.
