Convert currency home or Egypt

I'm off to Egypt and want to know if it is better to take sterling and convert it when I get to my holiday destination, take travellers cheques or just use my debit card as iI don't have a credit card.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

  • If you check on various websites, many of them say buy in Egypt because there is no commission (so they say) but it can depend on your arrival time. If you are arriving dead of night and will need to pay a taxi, then it might be an idea to take a few Egpytian pounds. Googling "know before you go" brings up a lot of websites - hopefully useful.
