Currency Exchange Service

Here in Egypt, the local currency is known as the Egyptian Pound. It can often be difficult to get smaller notes so it is advisable when you can, to change 200, 100 and 50 notes when you can to either 5, 10, or 20 Pound notes. The Hotel reception will offer you an exchange service and their will be a small commission charge on changing currencies ( they will take British Pounds, US Dollars and Euros). Local ATM machines will also take a small charge for using the machine overseas.

Transportation

Cairo is a densely populated City with over 60 million residents. Therefore it is not advisable for tourists to travel on local transport such as the small mini buses, local larger buses or the Metro train service. They are very crowded and you will probably end up getting lost if you do not know your way around. Memphis Tours provides an excellent transport service with spacious vehicles taking you around Cairo, or further afield such as Alexandria. ( click on the link above).
