this issue has already been discussed
came to the conclusion that for small purchases, fruits and taxis need pounds
otherwise - dollars
if you are going to rest in Sharm El Sheikh - it is better to shop in the Old City
And most importantly, as always - BARGAIN!

By the way, about the Old City... that year, I suddenly discovered for myself that all the souvenirs bought there, in the Old Market, turned out to be cheaper in Naama Bay! I didn’t believe my eyes myself, because I considered the Old Town the cheapest area .... I walked around again and asked the prices, it turned out cheaper in Naama ...

Conclusion: exchange money for dollars
and only a small part for pounds (for buying small souvenirs)
also change a small part of dollars into small bills
(for tips for maids, waiters, porters, etc.)

if you live in Nabha, then at the end of the nabha there is a market, there are generally the cheapest souvenirs than anywhere else ...
And in the old city, go through the 2nd gate, reach the vodafone store, the one on the corner, turn left (on the one side of the sweets, on the other, there will be a 2-storey store of oriental clothes, then a carpet store), then run into the shops, turn right and go straight into the very depths without turning 2 blocks (you will pass a shop with alcohol, then a T-shirt shop (very cheap, but you have to bargain, children took 2 pieces for $ 5) further down the street there will be a bakery, in short, you will run into a large shop with hookahs on the other side, a cafe for Arabs , and right there is a small path with all sorts of huge plates, vases, lamps, all made of bronze and ... go along the street, there a man and his sons do it all themselves, with their own hands, in short, a mini factory.
Copper carved plates were bought for 30 pounds, while everywhere at least 60 are already bargaining, there is also a shop with rugs and hookahs (a small hookah for 20 pounds).
Regarding the exchange, the topic has already been raised, read it.
Good luck...;)

I don’t know how it is for me, I always change for pounds ... in the bank, at the normal rate ... And then when I buy something and they tell me the price in USD. I independently convert to pounds at the bank rate ... And I don’t really worry about the fact that I might have some of the pounds left, since there are chances of a second trip

I join Azizam's answer ... And exchange only at the bank
