It’s convenient to bring some cash in USD or EUR, as they’re easily exchanged for Egyptian pounds at banks and official exchange offices. For daily expenses, carry local currency (EGP), which is accepted everywhere. While credit cards work at major venues, cash is useful for small purchases, tips, and in remote areas. We recommend exchanging a portion upon arrival and keeping extra foreign currency safe until you need it. Our team can advise you on when and where to exchange during your trip.
