Currency exchange

I want to pick up some US dollars before I head to Egypt in July. Is it better to get them at a bank or one of the money exchange places?
Many thanks, Colin Hay

We have booked a Nile Cruise which should be fantastic. I am hoping I can sneak a rod on board.

I'd do some shopping around Col .

Don't forget, don;t get involved in any dodgy pyramid selling schemes! Say hello to Indiana Jones for me!  Tongue out

There is Adam and I am into diving

Unfortunately we aren't going into that area. We will be spending most of our time in Egypt on the cruise boat and hanging around the pyramids.
I have seen some great pics from those dive area.
I am hoping to get my Papua New Guinea black ban lifted soon so I go to Kavieng for some diving and fishing.

Lol Colin. I will be watching out for dodgy camel salesmen as well.
