Most hotels have ATMs. The course is quite acceptable. The only thing is that the ability to withdraw money from a Privat card is limited by the class of the card. More details can be given to you at the bank branch.
Summer clothes, if there is such a burning need to buy it in Egypt, in no case should you buy it in shops on the territory of the hotel. Go outside the territory in the evening, look for shops, preferably with fixed prices, and if not, be sure to bargain! Have a nice holiday.

In shops with fixed prices, and more recently in some private shops, pharmacies, you can pay by card. Visa and Mastercard with a foreign currency account goes everywhere. Maestro didn't work for us.
You can withdraw money from ATMs, but we were charged a 10% commission.
Summer clothes can be bought in local stores, even at the hotel. Trade everywhere. Bargain-free shorts from $6, sundresses from $8-10, caps from $4, swimwear from $20. Bargaining is appropriate both in the market and in the shops at the hotel.
Cash accepts dollars, euros, local pounds. You can exchange currency for pounds at the reception, in shops, in exchange offices, at ATMs. You can get change in local currency in stores.

It is better to prepare for the trip at home. Of course, you don’t want to drag fins with you, but then what difference does it make how much it will cost to rent them on the spot? The same goes for shorts with sundresses ... either with you, or look there instead of the beach ... a far-fetched question.

2 years ago I saw fins on sale (in shops in the markets of Sharm) for 7-10 dollars. And in a 4 * hotel, when I asked about rent, they also asked for 10 dollars for 5 days. so think. If you are just snorkeling and you are not going to swim far, then you can do it without fins ... probably ...

An elderly German was resting with us at the hotel, he flew in for 2 months. With him was only a purse. Everything that was necessary for the rest, he bought on the spot, at the Old Market, saying that it cost a penny. And he added that at home he also expects a pension for 2 months. So not everyone takes "rags" from home)

The vehicle is not from Germany and is not traveling for 2 months. You have arrived and checked into a hotel. Everyone went swimming, sunbathing, (mmm introduced) And you are all of yourself, in a sweater and boots, went to look for the old market :)

For two months of stay, you can spend a couple of days and go shopping. This is not our case.

With us flew 2 grandmothers in fur coats and fur hats. We sit at the reception, waiting for check-in, and they, like that, go to the ladies' room, and from there, in guipure and swimsuits, to the beach. So not everyone carries "rags" with them, some - on themselves)

It is better to fly to Egypt with dollars, and the card is just in case, a pharmacy, a supermarket.
For myself, I decided it would be better to take things from home that I would not be sorry to leave and not take home, if buying new ones of not very good quality in Egypt. Other countries may do the opposite.
And how to pay for the rental of fins, you can bargain for the same amount to buy yourself, weighed my Egyptian 700 grams, bought for $ 12
Have a nice rest!

lazy_person "...It's better to prepare for the trip at home. Of course, you don't want to carry fins with you, but then what's the difference how much it will cost to rent them on the spot?..."
1. Fins. I want to first rent it once, so that my son tries to swim with them and decides he needs them at all. Since I’m sure that he will swim with them for 10 minutes and throw him to hell. I don't want to buy something that ends up being unnecessary. Therefore, I need to know the price for a SINGLE rental (for 1 day) of fins.
2. Now at home is not the season for selling summer clothes. And no matter how I searched, I couldn’t find where in our town they sell swimwear and shorts in winter. Of course, I will take my old swimsuit with me, but I want to know where and how much I can buy a new one in Sharm. I prefer to spend money on the necessary things that will be useful to me later at home, and not on stupid magnets and other knick-knacks.

I read advice on this site regarding which currency (eg. pounds or dollars) is more convenient and profitable to pay in Sharm (tips, fruits in the market, taxis, etc.). And I concluded that her pounds are better. (As an inexperienced tourist in this matter, perhaps I made the wrong conclusion?)
Advise on the best way to buy eg. pounds: exchange cash dollars (brought with you from home) for cash pounds OR take a private bank hryvnia card and cash out eg. pounds through it?

it’s better to withdraw pounds in Egypt at an ATM from a hryvnia card, it will definitely be profitable, especially since now the dollar has begun to grow again, I bought shampoo, they told me 2 dollars (36 pounds at their exchange rate now) I said that I would pay in pounds, then said 35. in the end I gave 50 he I got change of 20. I bought shampoo for 30 pounds, and we had several such situations that pounds were more profitable for us during the holidays. I made a conclusion for myself - now only pounds and from the card. And I paid USD for the tour. which I took with me a little.

Always use your local currency for payment. To do this, in most ATMs there is the possibility of exchanging dollars and euros without intermediaries. A good rate is usually at National Bank of Egypt (NBE) ATMs, in other banks it may differ for the worse.
In pharmacies, you should always use only the local currency, in dollars they always try to cash in. Prices for medicines by the way are indicated on the packages. And I saw a list of the correct pharmacies on the map in the Medicines of Egypt application on android.
