I would not advise changing the currency to pounds, unless you pay for the fare on the minibus, you won’t bother with the rest of the pounds before leaving
Dollars go well in shops, in shops and pharmacies you can pay with a card.

It is beneficial to pay with the card. We always take a small dollar with us for tips (if not, we change it at the reception or at the cleaners on arrival) and all other purchases by card and in shops and shops.

I saw many ATMs where you can not only withdraw pounds from your card, but also exchange currency for pounds. You can see the course in them without exchanging.

And the commission is big if you pay by card?
аватар moy_contakt
The fee depends on the issuing bank. When buying, you are not charged a commission as such, but a bank commission is possible when converting or something else, but check with your bank. But when withdrawing cash, the commission will be on both sides, so it’s better to only pay with a card.

We change small dollars for cleaners (not from our own because he wants to fuck you, but we go into any building and change, for example, 20 bucks one at a time, they will help you with pleasure). At the reception with this request, it is better not to poke your head.

grebeniksi66 apparently in different hotels in different ways, but there has never been a problem to change it with the cleaner who cleans our room. Moreover, they announced to him the amount they wanted to exchange, and without any problems he didn’t just change us, but also tried to make the dollars less shabby and without any hint of a reward (he already received it from us every day) But at the reception we never refused. Perhaps it depends on the level of the hotel.

Pounds in il mercato in the building itself on the steps there is an official exchanger, in any pharmacy or tourist office, but not at the official rate (for example, 15 for 1, not 15.45). Large to small - at the bartenders, they, probably, are sent the most for a dollar (you will also become a friend).

And yes, it is very profitable to pay with a currency card, wherever possible.

Never change dollars for pounds - don't fool yourself! The dollar is the main currency in Egypt. It is very convenient to pay with an ordinary Ukrainian hryvnia card (the official state exchange rate), and where this is not possible, they will gladly take dollars from you (change less than one dollar will be returned in pounds).

Not entirely true, for example, for a taxi. They won’t go for a dollar, no one will give change from two dollars, but you can get there for 20 pounds. This is how I traveled from Reef Beach to El Fanara Beach. 50 pounds for the beach is also somewhat different from 4 dollars. Beer in the alcohol market for pounds is cheaper than for dollars, mangoes, and a lot of other things. No one forces you to change 1000 dollars. I changed ten every day for such expenses.

It is better to change money in banks. But I always pay by card and take small dollars with me. And yes, the Egyptians, if you buy something, they always round in their direction.
