Travellers cheques can also be exchanged at the local Weston Union branch. Not all businesses accept credit cards- but the number is growing.
ATMs exist all over Egypt, and there are 10 in Dahab. With your “pin” number you can withdraw local currency using Mastercard or Visa Credit Cards, and Maestro or Cirrus Debit Cards.
If you intend to use your credit or debit card in Egypt it is advisable to telephone your bank or creditc card company before departure.
