It is worth changing a small amount - 10-20 dollars for a tip to the servants, maybe pay for transport. You can change it as needed.
There are both euros and dollars in high esteem.

By the way, they don’t take dollars in stores (we encountered this in the Metro), so it’s better to immediately exchange a small amount of dollars for pounds

At the airport, when buying a visa, you can exchange it for pounds, the exchange rate is good. Usually we change 50-100 dollars. It’s better to pay in pounds at the market and when you are interested in the price of goods, ask to call in pounds. Otherwise, when converted to dollars, they divide exactly by 5, and not by 5 ,65 or what rate at that time. The funny thing is that when I ran out of dollars at the market, I asked how much in euros. I was told that the same as in dollars. Funny guys!

A certain amount definitely needs to be changed. The amount depends on your goals, preferences, desires and length of stay in the country. We change at the airport when buying a visa (the exchange rate is absolutely adequate, you can be sure). If you are in the country for the first time, then it is better not to change a large amount (do not forget that later it is much more difficult and expensive to change local pounds back to the currency). Almost everywhere (restaurants, shops, shops, markets, etc.) it is more profitable to pay in local pounds, otherwise such a rate is “turned on” that “the head is shaking”.
Good luck!

we change in banks in OldMarket or in Naama there are exchange offices. there are also automatic exchangers (in IlMerkato and Naama there are definitely)

At the bank next to the hotel (Rehana 4) the minimum amount to be exchanged was 20USD.
A very interesting point is that merchants in shops / shops count as they please - whoever likes it, who at the rate of 5.0, who at 5.5, and who at 6.0. So it goes :)
