Is there a taxi from the hotel (or minibus) and how much do they cost? And a question about currency exchange
Please tell me about the fare. Previously, in Egypt they were only in Marsa Alam. A taxi was never seen at our hotel, and no one called him ...
Right there we will be next to Naama Bay, it’s a sin not to roll into the city + again, take excursions there.
In order not to be fooled by taxi drivers - what is the price of travel from this hotel to the old city? Is there an alternative, some kind of dolmushi / minibuses.
Paying in local currency is more profitable or not? Or is $ better?
And about the exchanger, the question is immediately ... is it worth changing $ or not? We also want to go to Jerusalem, there are shekels ... will it be necessary to change the currency somewhere along the way, or will it cost $?

It costs a few dollars to change at the airport - tips, etc.
Arabs do not miss - they are good at counting both pounds and dollars. There is a difference in payment in stores with fixed prices - there are in pounds. But there are few of these stores.
On a trip to Israel, you can limit yourself to dollars.

In Jerusalem, dollars are accepted everywhere, in shops, cafes and restaurants, in souvenir shops.
Surprisingly, only shekels are sold in the main market of Jerusalem, but you will not be taken there.

It is better to change dollars, it is more profitable to pay for a taxi in stores. You can change it either in exchange offices or they have machines, the exchange rate there is normal, but it doesn’t give a trifle. Taxi to the old city 5 dollars no more, bargain with taxi drivers from 20 pounds to 30 no more!!!

An uncle is sitting to the left of the entrance, come up to him, and right from him you can order a taxi (belongs to the hotel) wherever you want. And that a taxi can wait for you and take you back. Be sure to bargain with the grandfather. We agreed to take us to a shopping center (I don’t remember the name) for $ 7, wait and bring us back for $ 7. Taking into account the fact that they also agreed with the guys in half. then it turned out a trip for 7 dollars. Total. Nothing was exchanged for pounds at all. It is now not recommended to go to the old city, as there may be nuances due to the situation in the country! The bus that rides is very early. But you can ride it, then negotiate with local taxi drivers on the spot.

We have been to Egypt 5 times and have never exchanged dollars. Everywhere they accept dollars and the exchange rate is normal. In September 2012, they also went to Israel, also with dollars. True, they bought only cosmetics and souvenirs. Prices were in dollars. Every hotel has a taxi in Egypt and can be called to the hotel. Call is more expensive. Many hotels have buses to the Old City. During the daytime, mostly free of charge, and in the evening for money, about $ 5 round trip. Taxi price depends on the distance of the hotel, but not expensive. I don't remember exactly how much.

Pounds are still needed, albeit in a small amount - tips, fares, shopping in stores with fixed prices.

In Israel, they accept dollars, there the Egyptian currency "does not roll." But I still advise you to change a few dollars, if you are bargaining in pounds, the fare will be cheaper, and it’s more profitable to bargain for small souvenirs in pounds

As for the taxi, I can say that you can get from Pyramisa to Namabey for three dollars, leaving the hotel on the road, the main thing is to have a triplet for the calculation !! Checked went seven in a minibus for $ 5! I will answer any questions as an experienced tourist!!!
