Other posts at that time indicated that the base fares were in EGP (e.g. post #1119 told us the DONE5 base fares was EGP145,000)
But then early this month the fares were being quoted in USD, and were higher (DONE4 for USD5220 for example; I actually made a note of these fares on March 8th, but didn't note which OW airline's fares I was looking at)
And now the fares have reverted to being quote in EGP and are the same as they were before the change to USD

Note: I used experflyer to look up the current fares. It displays the fares in the currency you choose, but if you click on the routing rules (!) for a fare, you can see what currency has been filed for the fare

BUT the bottom line is - these fares are a bargain!
I believe QR is filing the fare in USD, BA and AT are not filing one, while all other oneworld carriers are filing the fare in EGP.
