Best currency to use in sharm el sheik egypt? |
Travel Info Im off to sharm el sheik egypt in april just wondered what's the best currency to take egyption pounds or american dollars? Travel Tips Egyptian pounds for sure .. officially other currencies are not supposed to be used out of the hotel. When supermarkets, sellers and others accept other currencies that's for 2 reasons 1- To make it easy for you to buy from there anyway 2- Most probably he gets a higher rate of exchange as there will be no alternative and no small changes and may be you don't know the rate at that time. Later when you understand that you'll be upset and no way to complain as it'll be your fault. My advice is to keep always enough Egyptian pounds with you. change your currency starting from the first day and you can change everyday from the bank inside any 5 stars hotel later when you need. Always change from the bank otherwise you'll get a low rate for your currency and it's illegal at the same time. Only the hotel rooms and your Tours or Excursions should be paid in your currency and the rest is with Egyptian pounds.
