I have a family member who is studying abroad in Cairo, Egypt this year and her birthday is coming up. I wanted to mail her a gift card/credti card so she can get what she wants/needs. Am I allowed to mail currency to Cairo, Egypt? I heard there are prohibitions that do not allow currency to be imported into Egypt. It would only be for about $25 or so. If anyone knows, please advise. Thanks.

Im an egyptian but i live abroad, and i was told by several banks, both here and there, NEVER to send currency or credit to Egypt, as even if igot lucky and it didnt get lost, it would take very very long time (between a month and 3 months) for a bank in Egypt to release it, the best thing is Western Union.

Yes, you can, but you are taking a chance of the currency or credit card getting in the wrong hands and they could run up quite a bill for you. Do not send them.

you merely might desire to save surfing the internet on low-fee flights and inspect your community return and forth agencies to recognize in the event that they might discover greater fee-effective ones too. I stay in Vancouver and that i've got been to Cairo, Egypt two times. I paid for my tickets $a million,a hundred (same cost your looking) and that i offered this from an corporation. I traveled by using KLM. Vancouver to Schipol Airport (Amsterdam) and than Amsterdam to Cairo international. BTW you may desire to do diverse looking. to illustrate, in case you opt for an afternoon like "July 5" you could discover it to be "$1500" yet once you chosen the subsequent day (July 4 or July 6) you could discover it like "$3 hundred" greater fee-effective. it particularly is an occasion how sooner or later could make a difference. you apart from mght might desire to discover out that's seen "extreme and occasional days" Your community corporation frequently might provide you assistance on which at present are. extreme potential greater passengers = bigger costs, and occasional potential greater seats = greater fee-effective fares.
