$, but it is better to pay them in local currency

As for me, you can take any currency, both dollars and euros .... But it's best to change some chats at the airport (there is a normal bank rate) and pay everywhere in pounds.

dollars. Pay cheaper with local candy wrappers. Just do not change a large amount of dollars for local pounds, because. if you do not have time to spend these pounds, then nothing will be changed back to dollars.

Take $ and upon arrival in Egypt immediately change to pounds, but not all, and then you will pay in the local currency.

Pounds (if you stay) for dollars can be exchanged at the airport, I was taken to the exchanger after passing the pass. control since he was on the other side, exchanged, but the truth was rounded in their favor. I think it will be easier with dollars.

It is most convenient to take dollars with you + a small part in local pounds, because many souvenirs cost 1-2 pounds and you can’t wait for change from dollars or euros, they really don’t like to give change :))) hence the conclusion - take as much as possible more small bills (and it is more convenient to pay for purchases and leave a tip). Do not forget to bargain, the price can really be reduced by at least half

Taking the euro is inappropriate! Of course, you can take dollars, but it's better to exchange them for pounds (local currency), because. Arbays are cunning and ready to grab everything everywhere!

BUT! And further! There are special machines on the streets, thanks to which you can convert dollars into pounds and vice versa, use this machine (looks like an ATM)=) At least"car" will not fool you! If something is not clear, contact the policeman - they will not dare to refuse help)))

And I’ll tell you that they have a very good euro exchange rate higher than ours, and if it’s more profitable to exchange the euros brought there for their pounds than to change dollars for pounds. But that was in January of this year. We don't know how it is now. Personally, we did this: we changed both pounds and dollars - this is optimal.

Of course, dollars, euros are also possible, but the exchange rate will not be profitable. Take dollars!!!!!!!!!!!

We rested from July 20 to August 3, we took only dollars with us. Changed at the hotel at the rate of 1 USD. = 5 pounds. Some were exchanged for pounds (for taxis and other needs), in stores it was possible to pay in dollars. But, if you analyze it, then it was more profitable to pay with pounds. Look! Change part of the dollars, and then it will be seen how profitable.

We were in such a wilderness (Taba) that the nearest town was 25 km away. Therefore, the exchange took place either at the hotel or in this town. Take dollars with you - preferably"new edition " (with big presidents-with"old " a couple of times there were problems :)), 1 dollar-5 pounds. You can change at the reception. However, upon arrival in Egypt, you will need approximately: $ 15 for a visa, $ 1 - for the transportation of luggage from the airport (I had to pay 5, although I could not give it), (and do not offend the guides - they "are not spoiled with baksheesh and for "five " Baku will be happy), porters at the hotel, $ 1-2 to the servants (I gave 5 and then we lived happily ever after), if you wish - you can give $ 20 for a good room (I asked for the second floor and a sea view and I I got it, although in Russia they wanted to take $ 86 from me for a sea view). And so - in the future, on the little things. We left 5 pounds or 1 dollar in the room, the service staff, according to their mood, were also given from 1 to 5 pounds (we charged in hotel boutiques) - and did not know the problems.
Do not forget that 1 dollar is a bottle of average beer - and people are pleased and you benefit :).
In general - take dollars, and if possible, change the little things in Russia in advance. Thank you for your attention, sorry if it's long :)

$$$$$$$

Definitely a dollar, since all prices (the cost of excursions, etc.) are indicated in dollars, and if they are transferred to euros, they will round off in their direction. In addition, the euro is now significantly thinner, relative to the dollar.
аватар den_sonya
Definitely both dollars and euros. Just returned and the euro did not interfere.
аватар Bysinochka
Only dollars. And it is best to change them immediately (not all of course). Tours are mostly paid in dollars, and locally (in the sense of souvenirs, etc.) in local currency.
