Cash vs Carte

Cash is essential almost everywhere. Cards only work in large hotels and international restaurants.

A

Distributeurs (ATM)

Present in tourist cities. CIB and Banque Misr are reliable.

Frais typiques

30-50 EGP per withdrawal

C

Ou changer son argent

Licensed banks and exchange offices. The black-market rate is illegal and risky.

%

Pourboires

Baksheesh is everywhere. Keep small change for everything: toilets, temples, services.
