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

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.

No problems Andy, it would be great, There are some great spots I would like to visit and re-visit in PNG. You never get a real concept of these things until you see them yourself.
