What currency should I bring when traveling to Egypt and the United Arab Emirates?

The common currency in Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and China is the Egyptian pound, and the US dollar can also be used. You can exchange US dollars at the Bank of China before departure, but you can't exchange Egyptian pounds directly at home. When you arrive in Egypt, you need to exchange Egyptian pounds or use US dollars directly. You can exchange it at hotels and airports. If you join a group, you can exchange with the tour guide. Personally, I don't think it's appropriate to use dollars, because dollars are generally rounded and there is no change. For example, if they are less than $65,438+00, it will be calculated as $65,438+00, and no change will be given to you. It's more cost-effective to exchange Egyptian pounds.

Try to change dollars into small denominations, and so does the Egyptian pound. One yuan can be exchanged for more Egyptian pounds, otherwise the remaining tip will be 10 Egyptian pounds. According to 360 Education Group, Egypt is a country where you have to pay a tip to go to the toilet and bargain for a bottle of water for half a day. Moreover, businessmen are more dependent and will give you less change or no change at all. You usually have to pay 1 Egyptian pounds to go to the toilet, and in some places it is 2 Egyptian pounds. Other tips usually cost 5 Egyptian pounds.

How much money do you need to take to Egypt? You can't spend 600 dollars. The $600 I said also includes participating in some self-funded projects, such as night trips to the Nile and going out to sea. Our family of three spends less than 700 dollars. So you don't need to bring a lot. Too much cash is also dangerous.
