Hello John, yes I would definetly encourage you to take cash. The currency in Egypt is the Egyptian pound. I would also suggest taking some hand wipes because Egyptian notes are a little dusty, and you will be handling them throughout your holiday. It is also wise to take a little bit of English currency, as it can be used to tip porters, waiters etc, and they do appreciate a couple of English pounds.
As for your accommodation, it will include your own personal safe, so you will be able to leave money at the hotel.
I hope this information has been helpful and if you have any further questions then feel free to email me.
Kind regards
James, your editor
