cheru Posted September 28, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Does anyone know if US dollars can be used in the Khan Al Khalili bazaar in Cairo? Do we need to have Egyptian Pounds at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted September 28, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2008 US dollars worked fine (as of Feb 2008) for most small souvenirs in the market. (Be aware, though, that a lot of the items being sold are actually "made in China"....go figure.) For larger purchases, I suggest using a credit card to get a more favorable rate of exchange, as well as having an avenue to pursue should anything go wrong.

Rare roscoe39 Posted October 1, 2008 #4 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Does anyone know if US dollars can be used in the Khan Al Khalili bazaar in Cairo? Do we need to have Egyptian Pounds at all? In my experience I have found that I have always been able to buy cheaper in the Bazaar using Egyptian Pounds rather than US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
