A late-June report says taxi drivers to and from Marina had started asking 2 USD more often instead of the usual 1 USD. Just a week earlier, 1 USD was easy to get, but fares had clearly gone up.

There is also an example of bargaining successfully: travelers got a ride from Gomla with shopping bags for 50 EGP, roughly 1 USD. The driver initially asked for 2 USD, but the third taxi accepted less, so carrying small Egyptian pound notes can help.
