When planning a mid-range stay in Egypt, a traveler should budget approximately 10,000 to 15,000 Egyptian Pounds (EGP) for a week-long visit. This estimate should comfortably cover accommodation, dining, activities, and transportation. Here’s a glance at typical daily expenses in the local currency:
Overall, visitors will find Egypt to be generally affordable compared to destinations like the United States and Canada, where similar expenses might be double or even triple. Thus, Egypt stands out as a budget-friendly option for travelers seeking rich history and vibrant culture without breaking the bank.
For expats considering a stay in Egypt, typical monthly living costs can range from 30,000 to 50,000 EGP, depending on lifestyle choices and location. This budget usually covers rent, groceries, utilities, and entertainment. When it comes to banking, international cards like Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, but it’s advisable to maintain some cash for local markets and smaller vendors.
When sending or receiving money, services like Wise or OFX often provide better exchange rates and lower fees compared to local banks. Exchanging money locally can also be an option, but rates can vary significantly from one exchange service to another. For the best value, it’s worth comparing both local exchanges and online transfer services before making transactions.
