TL;DR

The messages contain no confirmed successful ATM withdrawals in Egypt using UnionPay cards from RSB or Russian Agricultural Bank. Bring backup cash or another payment method and test a specific ATM on arrival.

What the community said

Travelers asked for recent reports of cash withdrawals in Egypt with an RSB UnionPay card, but no successful transaction was confirmed. Do not rely on it as your only way to obtain Egyptian pounds.

Travelers specifically asked whether ATMs dispense local currency to Russian Agricultural Bank UnionPay cards. This set of messages provides no confirmed result, so arrange cash or a backup payment option beforehand.

There is no recent confirmation here that Egyptian ATMs accept Russian Agricultural Bank UnionPay cards. If you try, make a small test withdrawal first and avoid planning your budget around this card alone.
