Egypt - travel money advice

[The Dark Horse]

Hi all

Anyone got any idea what the best travel money option for Egypt would be? Is it better to take Egyptian currency out there, change UK money out there, use US dollars ???

I have an Abbey Zero credit card which is understand is 0% but I believe they charge 28% interest on ATM withdrawals.

Any ideas or tips appreciated.
thanks

The Abbey card is a great idea, I have a similar one from The Post Office.

The other thing you could look at is a pre paid Visa/Mastercard, where you just load it up with funds before you go and just use it at places that accept Mastercard & Visa (IE most establishments).

Prepaid Credit Card - Pre Paid Credit Cards - Prepay Visa - Free Prepaid Cards

I know that doesn't answer your query directly, but hopefully it helps somewhat.
