Excursion to the National Reserve of Egypt - RAS MOHAMMED is in the marine reserve, the richest underwater world, on the Mount of Moses and the monastery of St. Catherine, meet the dawn on the mountain, the Colored Canyon is a multi-colored canyon located in the Sinai mountains, 150 kilometers from Sharm el-Sheikh. The gorge was formed millions of years ago as a result of an earthquake. There is still diving, quads, Bedouins, they don’t take them to Luxor and Cairo now, I don’t know to Jerusalem + Jordan. cheaper by 10-15%. Change money dollars, euros in exchange offices or banks, in hotels the rate is lower.

Check out the offers of local agencies (Saif Tour, Red Sea, Marwan, etc.) I would choose the Monastery of St. Catherine, or Mount Moses, Colored Canyon.
As for currency, bring small dollars with you, they are needed as a tip.

I agree with KiskaMary it's best to take it from a local agency. I just used the services of one of the Marwan Tours listed by her. Overall, I was satisfied with everything, especially the price. In Sharm, we visited Mount Moses, Abu Galum, went to the colorful canyon. We visited Jerusalem and Petra from Taba, but from Sharm the price is almost the same only to go further.

money - dollars, euros, yens, tugriks! Everyone accepts. But seriously, I checked, it is most profitable to change and pay everything in local pounds. The Egyptians are a cunning people, if they are paid in dollars, they count 5 pounds per dollar, and if in pounds - 6 pounds per dollar. The real exchange rate is 5.9 pounds per dollar. By the way, in stores it is also more profitable to bargain in pounds. Sellers see that the buyer is not a sucker, but a prepared and stubborn type. As a rule, the price can be divided by 2, this is closer to the real price. So divide by 3 and start haggling with that amount.

In Egypt, you can and should bargain! Here are a couple of phrases in Arabic that helped us. Hallas!" All-basta!", "Enta munufi olle? Are you a collective farmer, or something" - This phrase was generally in "demand" when trading. The Arabs laughed and dropped the price. Do not be afraid to leave the seller or taxi driver, he will run it's up to you and agree to your price. Excursions are a special song. Prices in a hotel or your operator are SO VERY DIFFERENT from real ones. +201091279565-name is Raphael, speaks Russian. We were very pleased with the prices. Bargain with the Arabs, don't be shy! Don't let yourself be fooled.
