When you buy and bargain well, it is better to do it in Egyptian pounds, they can give up 3 pounds, but never half a dollar, there is a dollar step. Cheaper buy and finer trade. So it's better to change. Minibuses for locals cost 50 piastres, but they charge 3 pounds from tourists. You can try to give 1 pound, but they may be indignant. The course is 1$ - 5.5 pounds approximately.
Excursions (on the example of the local company Saif Tours)
Cairo 55 $
Luxor 55 $ (only from Hurghada)
Cairo + Alexandria 120 $
Jerusalem 120 c.u. (Sharm Taba)
Petra by ferry 190 c.u. (Sharm Taba)
Diving from 35 USD
Mount Moses + Katerina Monastery 35 c.u. (Sharm Taba)
In a cafe for 10 c.u. you can have a great lunch.
Cafe beers are about 5-6 Egyptian pounds.

It is better to change, and of course in the bank branch, we changed the rate of 5.52 pounds to the dollar. It turns out purchases are cheaper, because. in supermarkets, all prices are in pounds, and when they transfer, they take a dollar u003d 5 pounds, and change is usually given in pounds. The only thing is that the tours were bought for dollars, so do not change the entire amount. I changed 70 dollars, then 50, and I still had these pounds left when I left, I then threw them off in a dutik, but at a very unfavorable rate, so it’s better to spend all the pounds to the airport.

It is possible to convert the exchange rate to dollars in the bank before departure the day before the flight is almost the same; they do not have speculations as we have in banks.

konyks, yes, it was possible to transfer, but I thought I would have time to spend it and left it, and as a result, they transferred it to the dutik at the rate of 8 with a change per dollar.

IMHO. it is much more profitable to pay with pounds))
Maybe in Hurghada basses and 50 piastres each, in Sharm - from a distance. From a pound to 3. No one grimaces and the drivers regularly pass the change.
Freshes also cost from a pound (the main thing is to poke money with skill, otherwise they will quickly turn a pound into 10).
You can eat at a fish restaurant for 20-30 pounds per person (this is with beer).
Beaches from 15 pounds to 100.
Shisha - 5-10 pounds, the hotel is more expensive.
It's all me according to Sharm...
In general, the author, what city in Egypt are you going to? In Hurghada, everything is much cheaper than in Sharm.

Always flew with dollars and did not change anything. It doesn't matter what currency to trade, if you know how to do it)))
And from Excursions, it seems to me that apart from Luxor there is nothing to see there. It cost $45 per person at the beginning of this year (teztour)
And what about the pyramids?... So what if the pyramids are too long and hard excursion to get there and just look at them.

$45 from where? From Hurghada? From a tour operator?
It’s hard to say anything at all about prices if we have no idea where the author is going.
If you have a rest in Cairo, then you can get to the pyramids by metro ... not a long excursion at all ...

For the first two times when we were there, we didn’t exchange dollars for pounds either, and everything seemed to suit both travel and shopping, until on this visit I did exchange dollars for pounds, and then I felt the difference, everything comes out much cheaper and purchases and travel and tips ....

mashulya1610 45 c.u. Teztur has an excursion to Luxor, did you fall from the moon? Why are you deceiving people, go to the Teztour website and read the price list. They didn’t have such prices this year and last year, maybe 5 years ago, there were such prices.
