Exchange dollars for pounds / shekels.
Where can I exchange dollars for eg. pounds at the entrance and how to change them back at the exit. I heard they are difficult to exchange. Then, how not to be mistaken in the required amount of eg. currencies.
What is the best currency to use when visiting Israel? Is it necessary to exchange dollars for shekels? Where can it be done?

You can change dollars at the airport. How much depends on you and your needs. I change no more than 10-20 dollars (for tips to staff and minimum purchases).

If you are thinking about a trip to Israel from TABA there, it’s not worth changing $ FOR shekels for one trip, you can safely buy everything in $ according to my rate of 1 to 3.

In Egypt, the Arabs are even more willing to take dollars than their pounds. In Israel, two currencies "go" with equal success - shekels and dollars. So don't worry, this won't be a problem. Arabs and Jews usually hate each other, but both equally love dollars. Have a nice trip!

Exchange dollars for Egyptian pounds at the airport and keep your bank receipt. Do not change a lot at once, there are also banks at Taba hotels (you did not write which hotel you are going to). You can return it back in dollars, provided that you have a bank receipt.
We never had to change back, we leave the rest for the next trips, and we expect the amount to be less than 100 pounds and small.

Dollars can be changed at the airport, banks in the city, exchange offices in the city or hotel. Do not change hands in any case! I advise you to change dollars 10-15, no more. They can tip. Dollars quietly go both in Egypt and in Israel. You can even pay in large stores and supermarkets. I also advise you to take 100 dollars with you in banknotes of 5-10-20 dollars, since it is not uncommon for you to simply not receive change from large bills.

nadin65, heard that eg. you can’t take out the currency .., but you say that you leave it for the next trip. So it's possible. "we calculate so that the amount is less than 100 pounds and small", i.e. Are there any export restrictions?

Each time, more than once, I brought back 65 pounds in small bills this year, and never had any questions. The exchange rate at the end of May was 1 dollar = 5.98 pounds.
Found on the site - Customs regulations of Egypt - Import and export of local currency is allowed up to 5 thousand Egyptian pounds. When leaving the country, you can exchange Egyptian pounds for dollars by presenting exchange receipts. When importing and exporting significant amounts of currency, it is necessary to fill out a currency declaration at the customs office at the airport.

We paid euros for souvenirs in Israel, they took them perfectly. The Egyptians are also omnivorous, like the Jews, they take both euros and dollars, but in Egypt change some currency for pounds, mainly to pay 1 pound in minibuses. I once gave 1 dollar in a bus, so for 4 pounds change I got a five-minute concert.
