In Egypt, the national currency is the Egyptian pound.
On a par with the pound, the American dollar, the euro "goes" ...
Usually sellers always quote the cost in $ and much less often in pounds.

Local sellers respect dollars very much, you can pay for purchases with a bank card.
You can pay in pounds, but guides warn that there are often fakes

Dollars (take small ones, they will come in handy for tips), euros, pounds. Very often, in shops and markets, the price is hung out with a rhinestone in three currencies.

The locals are very fond of dollars and oirs, but be prepared for the fact that no one will ever have change. and if it does, it will not be according to your calculations.
if you change a small amount of currency into Egyptian pounds at the bank, for example, 10 bucks, be prepared for the fact that there will be no trifles at the cash desk either
in shops and blue minibuses it is better to pay in pounds
when I was in a shop near Leila, the girl paid in Russian rubles, I don’t know the exchange rate - she wasn’t interested. about the hryvnia - I won’t lie, I haven’t seen it)))

Dollars and I advise you to change and take exactly small ones by 1. 5 dollars each to make it convenient for them to give change.
This year we recently visited Sharm, please take a look, and you will like it. Great hotel, beautiful chic green area. Good place to stay! My detailed video review of the hotel can be viewed on the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAEgqmLt9sk&t=17s
In the video, I tell a lot of tips and show places that you can visit besides the hotel.

Take dollars or euros. Do not take small euro coins. They don't go there, only on paper. It is worth spending small dollars for tips. Also in the supermarket it was convenient to pay with a monobank card or a private currency card. They immediately bought a SIM card at the airport and paid with a card.

I can’t understand from the reviews written above why the Egyptian pounds didn’t please? You can calmly count them, in markets and shops when you ask "hav match? " specify what you will pay in bucks or pounds. I would not advise taking the euro in Yegu, in most cases the price will be the same in dollars and euros, that is, for locals, I repeat in most cases $ 1 = 1 euro.
Somewhere I wrote earlier, on vacation, I try to pay with local currency or a card. For example, in the case of a vehicle, upon arrival in Egypt, I change the amount that I expect to spend, if there is something left, I can spend it in the dutik or food court of the airport on the day of departure. I change it at the bank, you will need a foreigner or in devices in the mall, but less often bills up to 50 bucks, otherwise I heard cases when these "devil machines" were buggy.

Egyptian Pounds are convenient when paying in Carrefour or taxis when the fare is less than the round amount of $. It is convenient to buy in pounds in pharmacies with fixed prices. And in the market, buying a mango at $1, the seller says 20 pounds in pounds, although the exchange rate is lower, so it’s more profitable to buy in $. We also exchange dollars for pounds, for taxis, Carrefour, pharmacies, and everything else is more convenient for green.
