I went to sharm in september and generally they like euro's and us dollarsl more thaln egyptian. i avoid TC'as as they usuallym charge commission. Small local restaurants and cafes are ok with egyptian, stores and markets quoted euro or US. depends how much is included n yor stay, how much you will be eating and buying. I recall taking about �70 worth of euros and about the same in egyptian. That was for 2 weeks in an all inclusive for 2 of us. And i had some left over t the end. If you are accomm only, you'll need more!
