Pounds go in Egypt, they are approximately 1 dollar = 5-6 pounds.
Great money is a trifle. But you need to carefully look at the bills when they give you change. Because instead of pounds they can give you their trifle. (I don’t remember what the trifle is called).

1$ = 6-7 pounds, well, lira, 1 pound = 100 lira like, but upon arrival they will explain everything to you, and they will say if you need to change it, it’s better to look at the change, otherwise there used to be other money they can slip

in the market, it’s better to have both pounds and dollars with you. 1 pound = $ 5.7 (October exchange rate). Try to bargain in the currency that you currently have in your pocket. It’s best to change dollars in exchangers (at the official rate), in hotels can be a bit deceiving.

The little thing is called piastres. 1$ is 5-6 pounds, the currency designation is LE. In Egi it is forbidden to exchange money in any other places except banks. (This is not Turkey for you.) Banks do not cheat.

Was in September, not the first time in Egypt. Currency-pounds, 1f. = $ 5.60. But ... Egypt is not Europe, and wherever possible they want to cheat and earn you. So first, it’s better for those who are already resting at your hotel to find out what, where and how much it costs. The rate is lower at the hotel. For example, a taxi from our hotel to Nayama Bay-10f. .+ a couple of euros. And so on

very convenient in Egypt with prices. lira equals hryvnia, so there are no problems with the transfer

you can pay in dollars, though it is desirable to have small bills. And don't forget to bargain!

The currency of Egypt is the Egyptian pound. "Cheap change" is piastres (1 pound = 100 piastres), which are also made of paper, so be very careful about what you are given as change. It is convenient to change some part of the money in banks at the airport (where you buy a visa), the rest of the money - in parts - is also more profitable to change in the city in banks.

It is obligatory to have small bills. We had a case when a taxi driver did not have change from a hundred dollars. Only by threatening to call the police everything was settled.

Recommendation immediately upon arrival when buying a visa, take change in pounds. One pound is enough for a driver, a porter, but you are unlikely to get that much /*read almost 100%*/ at the airport. Therefore, take five bucks 1 dollar from home until you find a thread of small pounds somewhere. This is not the first time we fly and therefore we take small pounds with us!
