What currency is used in Egypt?

The official currency is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). Banknotes come in denominations ranging from 1 EGP to 200 EGP. While credit and debit cards are widely accepted at hotels, larger restaurants, and many tourist sites, it’s always advisable to carry some cash for small purchases, tips, and markets. ATMs are widely available in cities and tourist areas. If you bring foreign currency such as US Dollars, Euros, or British Pounds, you can exchange it at banks, hotels, and currency exchange offices.
