Bucks are held in high esteem everywhere, it’s more profitable for them to rip you off at the exchange rate difference. You can change it for local money, it will be more profitable outside the hotel, and you can skimp there if you go to the city.

You can easily pay with dollars everywhere. The exchange rate at the hotel is not favorable, upon arrival you can exchange dollars at the airport at a fairly normal rate. But in fact, dollars can be calculated for everything. The dollar to the Egyptian pound is 1:7. i.e. for 1 dollar you will be given 7 pounds.

Dollars. I see no reason to change them to Egyptian pounds. Is that you collect the currency of different countries.

It is more profitable to buy everything in pounds. A dollar back and forth, a dollar here, by the end of the vacation there is a decent difference, it has been tested for myself.

Be sure to exchange a hundred bucks for local pounds at the airport - it always diverges on more favorable terms. Then we pay everything in bucks (if necessary), and it's easy to bargain for almost their entire "euro price" (in Mars everyone likes to count in EURO) and turn it from EURO into the same amount of American money - you must admit, there is a significant difference;)

Yes, at the airport you need to change a certain amount of money for pounds - tips for the service staff, and so, buy some small change at the hotel.
I don’t know if you will go to the city to buy something there for pounds, but in hotels it is the euro that is held in high esteem. (This applies to Marsa Alam)

I also doubt that Alek10rus will go from SHA to the city, but a certain amount of pounds will come in handy in any case and help save a little, in extreme cases, on the way back to the Hurghada sweet shop, where everyone is brought, it will be possible to buy magnificent fruit ;)

Looks like some people don't read the question to the end.
---paid with pounds in the supermarket.==
--- paid in bucks in the market ---
But we're talking about Mars...
There are NO markets and supermarkets.
And it is euros that are held in high esteem, not dollars.
You can take and pay in dollars.
But Alec asks what is better to do. After all, rest is not cheap anyway.

I also read that in MA they prefer the euro. But in September 2013, they accepted dollars everywhere without problems

I understand that you have to go to Mars with euros, and not with bucks?

We never have EURO with us, we take only dollars. Just be prepared for the fact that in Mars all prices are in EURO.
