​Is US dollar accepted in Egypt?

Answers:

• The short answer is: yes, strongly. The US dollar is the preferred currency in the tourism sector in Egypt. The American currency is widely accepted in Egypt, especially in tourist areas, hotels, coffee shops, and bazaars. In fact, it is often considered the most welcoming and easiest to deal with foreign currency. You can exchange USD dollars for Egyptian pounds quite easily from any bank or automated teller machine (ATM) inside hotels and airports at official exchange rates. Many tourist services in Egypt, including providers and shops in Luxor, Aswan, and Cairo, accept payment in dollars, saving you the hassle of carrying large amounts of local currency all the time. It is always recommended to bring small dollar bills (1, 5, 10) as they are ideal for tips (Baksheesh) and for small purchases; and recommended to be fresh banknotes.
