The rate in commercial banks is equal to the rate of the National Bank of Egypt, so it does not matter where to change the same rate everywhere. And you can not change at all and pay in dollars. Any merchant will tell you the price of the goods in any currency (Eg. pound, dollar, euro). The main thing is to be able to count well and quickly, otherwise they like to heat up our brother. The main thing is not to run into a multi-currency checkout in some large superstore. After it, you still leave for a long time and the feeling that you have been thrown does not leave. It looks like this - you bring a bag of goods to the checkout with price tags in dollars and pounds, and the cashier quickly chik-chik and the mountain gives the price either in pounds or in dollars, then asks what currency you will pay, and you tell him that you have euros - again chik-chik and calls the amount in euros. You give him euros, and then the most interesting thing is that he gives you change as it suits him and what he has in the cash register - euros plus dollars plus pounds.
Especially if a bus is waiting for you and you already have to go, then you sit and bring all the received currencies to one and try to count and find out whether they threw it or not. But as a rule, everything is within the margin of error (the smallest non-changeable banknote).

Have been to Egypt many times!
A certain amount of dollars was changed right at the Airport, now they have a rate of 5.4-5.6 pounds per dollar !!!
They really say the price in both dollars and pounds, but sometimes it turns out that in pounds it can be cheaper! For example, we chose a beautiful ashtray,
cost 45 pounds (45 / 5.3 u003d 8.3333333), and in dollars he already named 9.
It doesn't seem like much, but it's annoying!
And bargaining in pounds is more convenient!! One or two pounds will give way to anyone, but sometimes they don’t want to throw off one dollar !!!

I always change a small amount at the airport for pounds-for tips, because. You can't give less than a dollar, otherwise you can give 1,2,3,4 ... pounds.

they always count goods for dollars by about 5. if you are going to make large or a lot of purchases, it is better to pay in pounds and change them not in shops but in banks - the banks closest to you are in the tour center - the Grand Hotel area or the Esplanade Mall (there are ATMs in the esplanade and opposite where you can exchange currency almost around the clock ) or go to Sheraton Road where a lot of them are concentrated. or know a clear course (you have already been told 5.4 approximately) and insist on this course in the shops

I agree with Piton 7599, a good example of the calculation is given using the example of an ashtray. I also prefer to pay in pounds, it's more economical.

There is another reason, it is practically impossible to get small dollar bills from us in Odessa, mostly hundreds and fifty.

Thanks a lot for the replies!
But I will clarify everything, i.e. upon arrival, we change 1 dollar for 5.5 (approximately) pounds in a bank or hotel. So? And how can 5.5 pounds be broken down smaller?

Smaller than 5 pounds can be developed by 1 pound, 1 pound - 100 piastres. And it turns out (approximately) 1 pound = 5 rubles 70 kopecks. But by and large, you don’t need to change anything smaller than 1 pound, you get quite a penny.

5 pounds are banknotes or coins in denominations of 1,2,5.
Beware of piastres - it's much less than a pound.
This time I wanted to change 5 dollars. The rate was 5.59. Accordingly, they should have given me 27.95 at the bank at the airport. The employee gives me 25 pounds. to the question - where is another couple of pounds? - silently threw me my own 5 dollars. No problem - I changed them in another window, and they gave me 28 pounds.

Tundra, I'm from Kamchatka in MAASSKEE, they don't know what a plastic card is in any normal store, you can pay it the cheapest way if you pay directly on it, if you want, you can cash out both in the city and at the hotel.

I change currency on www.best-course.ru. Monitoring of exchangers is more profitable regardless of the country in which you are located. On this site you can immediately see where the course is more profitable. I advise you do not go wrong.
