Best Way To Take Money Abroad?

Me and my partner are going to Egypt, Sharm-El-Sheik to be precise, were both taking about 1k each. Im trying to find out what the best and safest method of taking money abroad?.
We'll be changing about £50-£100 here to egyptian but the rest will be £.

    Will your travel insurance provide cover for carrying so much cash?

    Why not just use an ATM while you are there?

    Look at the links to overseas spending at the top of the main overseas board.

    I havent actually checked that if im being honest, i doubt it though.
    I thought about that but where staying at a hotel called Sol Y Mar in sharks bay which is in the middle of no-where.
    Im not sure if i should take travellers cheques instead.
  • Travellers cheques are never good value nowadays. I expect ATMs would be available in this resort.
