VACCINATION : No particular one. 

LOCAL CURRENCY : Known as EGP ( Egyptian Pound ). We suggest you to provide enough locals coins or small bank note on your arrival at the airport.

All banks are closed on Friday and Saturday ( weekend ) but the ATM's are easily found for retrieving cash. All major credit cards are mostly accepted in the hotels, restaurants and commercial shops.

If you are willing to give a tips for certain service or taxi's payment , please use the locals coins as the bank won't accept the exchange coin value from the other currency . For that reason the Egyptians wanted to exchange them against the banks note.
