Should I convert into EGP here in the UK or draw money at the ATM in Egypt OR take sterling with me and convert it at a bank.
Also, is 10% a suitable tipping rate?
I’m confused that they accept dollars, euros and GBP sterling. I’d rather use EGP as that is their currency. What is a valid reason for not doing this?
Best regards

Its pretty much up to you, you can convert where you are or here its the same, the sterling here has higher conversion price than dollars or euros as one sterling pound is worth about 10 egyptian pounds here,but i recommend that you convert your money in a bank before you travel to save your time

If you are going on holidays to Egypt you will need some US dollars as entrance to most tourist sites is in that currency for foreigners i.e. locals may be charged 10LE (egyptian pound) but you will pay $10 :)This is the official pricing in Egypt.
Euro and Sterling may be accepted but they prefer USD.
