the national currency in egypt is the POUND
1 pound = 100 piasters
u can get some cashes with u in some accepted currencies and change it in any bank , remember that banks out airport have better rates than inside airport so dont change much in airport
the most accepted currencies to change in banks :
1US$ = 5.71 EGYPT POUND
1 EURO = 7.42 EGY. POUND
1 GBP = 11.12 EGY.POUND
100 JAPAN YEN = 4.70 EGY POUND
1 SWITHERLAND FRANC = 4.55 EGY. POUND
CANADA AND AUSTRALIA DOLLARS are accepted also but i dont know how much are .
remeber that u cant use these currencies in shops or hotels
except US$ & EURO THEY ARE THE MOST ACCEPTED IN SOME HOTELS AND SHOPS
some hotels accept ONLY EURO

advise, don't ever change money in your country cause always the rate in egypt is higher than outside, so bring money in sterling or dollar or euro, all is work fine here and will be chang easly with good rate.

US $ would be a good choice. For urgent expenditure better off with Egyptian Pound
