Where can I exchange Dollar to Egyptian Pound? |
Travel Info Upon arriving in Cairo Inter. Airport, where can I expedite converting Dollar to Egypt Pounds, and get a good rate? (I haven't booked a hotel yet) Travel Tips You can't get a good rate when exchanging money. They all will give you about 10% less in exchange than the correct rate and then will charge you a fee on top of that. This goes for travelers checks too, as they also have to be converted to local money. Exchanging money in country is expenisve and unnecessary in modern times. On top of that, it's foolish to carry large sums of money while traveling. The best way to get local money is with your bank ATM card. If you go to bank that has the same symbol that is on the back of your card, they will not charge you for getting money. At the same time, you get the correct exchange rate in converting your money. The only fee you pay is what is normally charged by your bank. When I was in London a month ago, I got 800GBPs from the local banks over a week span. Not only did I get the correct exchange rate (no 10% less robbery), but I was only charged $4.50 total. You can't do any better than that anywhere, anytime. Others You can probably have this done at an international airport Try the airport. Starting from the Airport you'll find a bank in the Airport. Later in any 5 stars hotel you'll have a bank and you can change everyday. There is no difference in the rate if you changed any other way, but may be if you try to buy something no in EGP you'll get a low exchange rate. Only the tourism company and the hotel can be paid in Dollars and you can change daily if you like. You should book as early as possible. Good luck Go to the bank.. there is one in Cairo.. uhmm..i forgot what the name of the hotel was called but any ways... there was a hotel that had a bank in there.. |
