The Saudi main index also plunged almost 6 percent.
Egyptian benchmark index, EGX30, dipped 1.92 percent to 6,654 points hitting its lowest level since mid December 2013 and daily stock turnover reached LE444 billion.
Egyptians, comprising almost three quarters of the trading, were net sellers to the tune of LE45 million.
Market bellwether Commercial International Bank (CIB) made the only gains of the session, rising 0.84 percent to LE45.8 per share.
State-run Telecom Egypt dipped 4.84 percent to LE6.4 per share and Global Telecom Holding fell 4.57 percent to LE1.9 per share.
