what is the best currency to take to egypt on hols?.?

Answer 1

The Egyptians accept all currency's especially camels and blond children

Answer 2

Do not go to Egypt - trouble is brewing. I'm not anti-Muslim, but I've just been there, and their entry control is dreadful, and, as a European white man, I got spat at a lot. I was in Syria next - no problems at all, and when I finished up in Turkey, I was highly impressed with their security - they quizzed me a lot as to what I was doing in Egypt (the stamp was in my passport). 2 hours to get out of an airport is a bit much, but I did not mind - the Turks were very courteous and even fetched me food and a beer. But if the Turks are suspicious about anyone, take note. They are the most militarily competent nation East of Israel and West of Japan. And their security matches.

Answer 3

American Express (and some other places(maybe the post office)) are now offering travellers cheques in the form of a debit-type card. You top-up the card before you go, and use that. It saves having to find somewhere to cash your cheques and you dont incur any fees/interest like you would with a traditional debit/credit card.

Answer 4

Egyptian pounds
Sterling travellers cheques
or your Credit card

Answer 5

I would take travellers cheques. they are much safer, especially in a place like egypt

Answer 6

Just take your debit card - its easier than carrying cash or travellers cheques.
