At what rate do they change $ for local pounds, is there a difference with the bank rate? And in general, is it worth changing $ for pounds (Senzomol and shops with fixed prices - it’s clear what you need)
The last time we were in Egypt was in 2016. The bank rate was about 8-9 pounds, and the locals had $ = 15-16 pounds (but this, if only one hundred rubles were exchanged right away, was not considered less at this rate). Therefore, based on such a favorable exchange for us, it was better to settle in Egyptian pounds. How are things now?

It is more profitable to calculate in pounds - more maneuvers for bargaining, plus in the markets for locals, where price tags are in pounds, it is also more convenient to calculate, the only thing is to keep screenshots of Arabic numerals in smart, if you don’t orient yourself, otherwise they will deceive you, well, where else is something 8 -10 pounds, and you have $, then you will be rounded up to a dollar.
In December, the rate was about 17 pounds per buck, now it seems to be the same, in the bazaar and hawkers the rate is close to the bank rate, they even store receipts and show today's rate. But my IMHO go to the official exchanger and exchange the amount that you plan to spend, and even if you need money for excursions, which are in $, in most cases they take pounds at the exchange rate.

At the moment, the dollar exchange rate is 17.8 pounds. You can go to the CIB Egypt website in the exchange rate section and you will be aware of the exchange rate changes.

I just withdraw the required amount from the card at the nearest ATM. Whether in Senzomall or in a small shop, I pay in pounds. The ATM itself recalculates everything at the rate and does not fool around looking for reliable ones and did not change much.
