for tea - dollars
purchases - the local currency is better (because no one gives change from dollars and the cost is rounded up)
it is better to take more dollars in denominations - $ 1, $ 5, $ 10, $ 20 ($ 50, $ 100 for large purchases, expensive excursions)
I don’t advise changing all currencies to local money, otherwise you won’t spend everything, but it’s very problematic to change it back to dollars)))...

It is better to change dollars in banks in the city, just keep in mind, I don’t know how in Sharm, and in Hurghada banks work from about 10 to 13. In October, they changed $ 1 = 5.45 pounds in banks, and at receptions and in shops they count at the rate 1$=5 pounds. So it's still better to change money in the bank.
As for the denomination, it’s better to take the amount that you will need to pay for a visa without changing, the denomination of the rest of the bills does not matter. We didn't have any problems in this regard. The only thing is that if you leave a tip in dollars, then take more change, because. tip standard = 1$

It is best to take dollars with you and I advise you to exchange some more money for local pounds. Moreover, it is better to take money in small bills, because it’s more convenient for tips, and besides, the Arabs really don’t like to give change, so it’s much more convenient to pay when you have small bills (because you can’t just wait for the change, they immediately freeze and pretend that they absolutely do not understand Russian). And another tip: do not forget to bargain, prices decrease after bargaining by at least 50%, everything depends on your ability to bargain.

Until 13, Then they start working again from 18 to 21-22. Definitely better to pay for purchases in pounds. Because the dollar exchange rate in banks is 5.7 now and in stores 5. Change is given everywhere and that's it.

Dollars! Tipping is 1 bucks. Visa - 15 bucks. Excursions - from 40 to 300 ... bucks from the nose. Euros change at a bandit rate (Especially in Duty Free Sharma!). So you can figure out how much it will take to tip and start collecting small change in dollars from our banks. If you do not plan large purchases and expensive excursions on airplanes, it is better to take banknotes of medium and small denominations. The last time we didn't change to pounds at all. All payments are in dollars, even for small souvenirs in bulk. Pounds never came in handy...

Definitely dollars, you can take large ones, then change them for pounds, but on the first day prepare 5 dollars for 1 for tea, and another 10 + 10 for the hotel. You can change immediately when buying a visa at the airport, first change 50 dollars. Calculations are only in pounds - it's cheaper, for tea 3-5 pounds.
