Help! Going Egypt, where do i go in UK to get Egyptian currency? No commision?


Travel Info
Need to change money but dont know where? Am going with first choice holidays who say they can order in the money but surely we can change over our pounds in Egypt cant we or are we better off doing it here?

Travel Tips
Change money in Egypt, best by withdrawing cash from an ATM with a credit card or similar. Best exchange rate there is.

Plus if you are on a guided tour, you might not need to exchange money at all. At the tourist destinations people easily accept USD and EUR (at a very unfavourable exchange rate though) and most of your things (entrance to sites, hotel, transport, food) are already paid for.

Hi Unlucky,
Were of to Egypt in August as well the best place that we have found to change Money is Marks & Sparks
Hi

Unless your are talking about thousands you might just as well take UK拢, most will exhange on a 10 - 1 basis EGP拢10.00 - GB拢1.00 - which would balance out on commission charges
dint change any, wait until you get there you will get a better exchange rate, and you will not need to have nay on arrival because you can change a small amount at the banks when you land in the arrival hall. where you buy your visa and then change more in the hotel or local bank where ever you are when you get to your resort.you will have a better rate with no commission.
personal experience of many visits
The best is to change when you arrive to Egypt. Better rate and you can change daily starting from the airport.
In almost all 5 stars hotels there is a bank where you can change whenever you need.

Good luck and welcome to Egypt
