Where to exchange currency or withdraw cash in Sharm El Sheikh when ATMs are empty?
Based on 3 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 13 days ago
TL;DR
ATMs in Sharm El Sheikh frequently run out of cash, especially in Hadaba and Nabq areas — it's more reliable to look for bank branches in central districts near major hotels or in Naama Bay, and check currency exchange desks at hotels.
What the community said
One traveler asked if dollars could be bought directly in Nabq to avoid a trip to the center — it seems options there are limited, and a trip to central Sharm is often unavoidable.

In the Arabia district ATMs often run out of dollar cash — better to look for an actual bank branch nearby instead of relying only on the ATM.

In Hadaba the cash-accepting ATMs near Dahab Mall sometimes go out of service — worth checking a few nearby spots instead of relying on just this mall.
