The amount of money you should bring depends on your travel style and planned activities. Egypt is known for being budget-friendly, but there are opportunities to splurge if you’re seeking luxury experiences. Based on your level of accommodations, the amount of money you spend reflects this.

For everyday expenses, such as meals, tips, and souvenirs, $50–$100 USD per day per person is a good estimate. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, major restaurants, and shops, but it’s always a good idea to carry some cash for smaller vendors, tipping, and local markets.
