This post in focused on the better means of payment that you have to bring with you when going to Egypt. Maybe one could think that with credit cards and your hard currency, it would be more than enough for traveling in the Country, but from the very beginning, I would strongly recommend you to buy some local currency when arriving at the airport; that will make possible to pay for the tourist's visa, just in case you do not have it yet, as l wrote on my previous post, and will allow you to make petty payments far more easy
About how much money to change, of course, it depends; in any case change money in banks or get it at ITM. Above all, avoid any possibility of private money exchange to stay away from scams.
When changing money at the banks does not forget to ask for local coins that will make your visit a lot easier when you have to pay for something or to give tips, which will be the subject of my next post.
