Why do you need their pounds? In Egypt, everywhere you can pay in dollars.

No, only dollars and euros to pounds. Currency is not accepted at cellular offices and in Carrefour. Minibuses need small pounds.

We rested in July, there was an ATM at the hotel, I changed, they only took a commission for withdrawals. In the old town, in shops there are terminals for paying by card. We bought medicines in their state pharmacy, paid with a vaccinated card. Yes, and we were advised, it is better in their currency, as at that time, their dollar was falling, so instead of $1, you pay $1.25. The course would then be 1 dollar -15.6 pounds, in hryvnia it turned out, not much cheaper, taking into account the commission.

ATMs in hotels DO NOT exchange hryvnia cash for dollars, pounds, rubles, euros. How do you imagine that? Automatic exchange of any currencies of the world for any? Why then so many currency exchange points? Shut everything the fuck up?

The question is not correct. ATMs do not exchange currency, but dispense cash.
Whether an Egyptian ATM will accept your card depends only on your card.
The exchange rate depends on your bank and the current UAH / USD / Pound exchange rate
I recommend calling your bank, and yes, cash dollars in Egypt have not been canceled.

So, I was lucky that in 10 visits to Egypt, I have never seen an ATM that would exchange hryvnia cash for dollars or pounds of your choice. Did you carefully read my message? I specifically made a reservation that it was CASH, because it is naturally possible to withdraw by bank transfer at any ATM, I just personally would not call this operation an EXCHANGE.

An exchange is when you put a hundred bucks into an ATM, and you get ten bucks or pounds of paper of your choice. Such a thing is also called an ATM, since it is serviced by a bank. Usually installed in a hotel lobby or nearby.

There is no point in withdrawing cash from an ATM. Paying with a card in a supermarket is a completely different matter. And withdrawing cash is stupidly unprofitable.

And why do you need a lot of cash pounds? Where to put the rest or change at the end of the holiday? It's impractical.
In pharmacies and shops they accept hryvnia cards, souvenirs and other purchases in shops - mostly for dollars.
It remains only travel in minibuses, and this is a very small amount. Another question - will you ride these minibuses ...

Who has a lot of pounds left? You can always exchange for dollars at the exchange office (in the Old City) and go home with the dollars. (You just need to have your passport with you)

Removed from the hryvnia card, received pounds. In fact, it’s better not to shoot too much, there’s nowhere to put them later or you’ll have to buy anything. The point is that in pounds some little things will be cheaper than in dollars, there is

In Sharm on Mercato there is an ATM that changes dollars into pounds. A local helped me with it. Insert cash dollars and it dispenses cash pounds

Elenka08, a small addition. If the seller at the bazaar sees that you came to Egypt for the first time (believe me, such things are cut through at once) or you don’t count well in your mind, then they can get a good deal when buying for dollars. dimzg, the question was about an ATM that changes hryvnia to pounds.

If you are going to Egypt for the first time with your card, inform the bank about your trip. So that your card is not blocked when you use it. Egypt is considered not a reliable country and Privat sometimes blocks its cards. Like Oschadbank and other banks ..

Raise the limit and once again go to Privat so that the card is not "accidentally" blocked

mindguru, well, I said that with pounds, in some cases it will be more profitable. About other people's ability to count in the mind, it's not my business to think

"But not from all cards of Ukrainian banks. Privat without problems" - depending on which cards, there are certain cards of the same private that do not work abroad at all, just like with the rest of the cards of other banks.
For cash withdrawal, depending on which card and in which currency
if Mastercard, then it is beneficial to pay in euro currency in pharmacies and supermarkets, if visa is better in dollar currency.
There are UkrSib cards so you can withdraw very profitably from BNP Paribas ATMs in Sharm, and in the same way with Credit Agricole cards, there are also Egyptian Credit Agricole ATMs
