The commission is taken by both the native bank and the Egyptian one, each bank has its own commission size. But problems may arise if the card is with a pin code. If you are not going to spend thousands of dollars. on vacation, then take cash from home.

Why such difficulties in Egypt? Take cash and that's it. IMHO

plus you need to warn your bank that you will withdraw money abroad, otherwise they may block the card

ATMs have options in English, everything is standard, you withdraw, just like at home. I don’t know the size of the commission, but it turned out that it was a little more profitable to take a dollar card with me and then withdraw in Egyptian pounds than to change a cash dollar.
natapro wrote correctly - some banks warn about this even when opening an account. In general, I once encountered the fact that the card can be used everywhere (judging by the contract and the answers of managers), and the card was blocked abroad. Now I always discuss this issue with the bank in advance and also write an application for the removal of restrictions - suddenly I will not meet the daily limit of $ 200. :-)
ionoff - in principle, it is correct, but, alas, in hotels in Egypt they sometimes like to rummage through things and pull out 1-2 extra green pieces of paper. And I always have my card and mobile with me.

just withdraw from everything, ATMs are there like everywhere else. It is better to withdraw from ATMs near banks.

elbrus, you can open a foreign currency account on the card and transfer money to it, you can simply withdraw from the ruble. You don’t need to warn the bank, but you should clarify about commissions. In Egypt, they charged me a total of about $ 3 for the operation, regardless of the amount, in the end it turned out to be no more expensive, as if I had taken cash (in Europe it was much more expensive).
