How much will I need?

[seal!]

I'm going to Egypt, but I have no idea how much money I will need to take. obviously stuff is cheaper out there, but what shall I budget per day? A rough idea would be great. Cheers

Depends on where you are going and what you intend doing eg are you in an all-inclusive resort or travelling around? Are you paying for children or is it just you? Are you going to try diving, camel-riding etc?
Food has become dearer (not in western terms) during the last year, but when I was there a couple of years ago a good solid meal was about a fiver. If you aren't a heavy drinker, aren't going snorkelling and are just staying around one place, I'd guess �20 a day would be more than adequate.

You ATM card will work at the banks in Egypt. Your bank in the UK will charge you about �2.50 per transaction, so I usually get �80 out at a time.

�20-�30 a day (depending on what you plan to do) would be about right.

10 Egyptian pounds is about �1.
