EF is showing the base fare currency for ex-Egypt fares
and the fares are still in EGP
Though much more expensive than they were before the fare was pulled, in late 2016

In late 2016, the base fare for a DONE4 was EGP44,000
now it is EGP141,000
prior to the EGP devaluation in November 2016 - that EGP44,000 equated to about USD5,000
After the devaluation is equated to about USD3,250
(see this 2016 thread for discussion of the old fare - [FARES GONE] Egyptian Pound Devalued - bargain prices for RTW tickets)

The new base fare now equates to about USD7,900
So certainly no longer the bargain it once was

BUT should the EGP get devalued again...
