The last I heard no money can be sent OUT of Egypt unless its through a bank to bank wire transfer. I would contact the Egyptian Embassy here in the USA and ask what your options would be, without giving your personal information.

Good Luck.

as far i know ,there's no legal way right now to buy this big amount of dollars.your only bet is the black market .

also i believe -even if you exchanged them to USD- its way harder to transfer those money out of the country right now. but if you have account in any egyptian bank ,try to ask them.

another idea, if you could exchange them ,let any one coming to the states that you trust to bring them (10.000 USD for each passenger ). its not the best option but you dont have many options anyway.

another idea, see if you can buy gold worth of the egyptian money and get it shipped to you then sell the gold there.
