What exchange rate do banks and ATMs in Sharm El Sheikh use for euros and dollars?

Based on 2 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 21 days ago

TL;DR

Banks and ATMs in Sharm El Sheikh use roughly the Google exchange rate minus a small margin; if you pay cash directly to a seller, they set their own rate and often treat euros the same as dollars.

What the community said

When paying euros directly to a shop or vendor (not via a bank), the seller sets their own unofficial rate and often just equates euros to dollars, which is less favorable.

Exchanging cash or withdrawing from an ATM gives a rate close to the official one — you can check the current Google exchange rate as a reference.

The euro exchange rate at banks and ATMs is usually slightly worse than the official Google rate — just subtract a small percentage.
