The currency used in Egypt is the Egyptian Pound (EGP). Travelers often find it more convenient to use cash for small purchases and local markets, while credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and larger stores. It is advisable to carry some cash for places that may not accept cards.
In Cairo, travelers should be cautious of common scams such as overcharging by taxi drivers, unofficial guides offering unsolicited tours, and vendors inflating prices for souvenirs. Petty theft, especially in crowded areas like markets and public transport, is also a concern. It's advisable to use metered taxis or reputable ride services, agree on prices beforehand, and remain vigilant in busy tourist spots. Additionally, avoid accepting help from strangers when navigating attractions to reduce the risk of being targeted.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order. Lastly, include a small first aid kit and personal hygiene items for added comfort during travel.
