The pound against the dollar.
Tell me, who knows, is it better to pay in pounds or dollars (small purchases, tips, etc.)? Or is there no point in bothering with the exchange? And if it still makes sense, then where can you exchange profitably?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The rate was 1 to 10. Don't bother. I take everything and give back.

This rate was only in exchange offices. Now it feels like they have been taken on ... Almost all are now closed. And in those that have not been closed, the rate is the same as in banks, that is, the official one! Today 8.83 pounds for 1 dollar.

Now, in connection with the situation described above, it is even more profitable not to change dollars for pounds, but to withdraw money from an ATM from a card. It turns out more profitable and easier. You can withdraw the amount starting from 100 pounds. According to my observations, the most profitable rate is in the Audi Bank. But others are fine too...
Good luck!

In our recent experience, it is better to pay and tip in pounds, it comes out cheaper. Money can be exchanged at the exchange office at the airport. There are also automatic exchanges at ATMs. Only when issuing is rounded up to 10. That is, when exchanging $ 10, you will receive 80 pounds.

Now we have 2 courses. The official one is almost 9. The non-official one reaches 13. It is not profitable to withdraw from the card. It is just easier to exchange from the same store sellers at a more favorable rate.
It is beneficial to withdraw with a card if you have an account in pounds and you are not in Egypt)))) Even this has now been cut a lot.
You can not bother and buy everything in dollars, but pounds are better suited for small souvenirs.

Well, in general, if we are talking about buying souvenirs, etc., then on the scale of this "giant" amount, we are looking for "savings on matches." :)

I answer according to Sharma, a week ago:
- in exchange offices (8.90-8.93)
- black (11.2)
- shopping count 10
Naturally, it is more convenient to buy in dollars, change will be given in small pounds.

Thanks everyone for the replies! For Sadko, this is certainly not about millions, but about whether it is profitable to buy souvenirs / excursions / tips in dollars or pounds. The crisis is not only in Egypt, and every penny counts, even if you manage to save $10, it will be nice for me, they don’t lie on the road, you can buy an “extra” souvenir. One more question - is it worth it now to go to Cairo for a one-day excursion or will it be very difficult (I mean the heat)?
IMHO very hot. It is better to transfer to the winter-early spring period.

It will be hot to go to Cairo. There on the Giza plateau (where the pyramids are) you will spend about 2.5 hours.
In the Cairo Museum, the temperature is constant because of the exhibits.
It is better to transfer the coolest period. Now it's time for sea excursions))))
