Which ATMs in Sharm el-Sheikh accept cash deposits (USD/EUR) to exchange for Egyptian pounds, and where else can you exchange currency?

Based on 2 discussions with 5 participants · Last activity: 4 days ago

TL;DR

NBE bank ATMs with a single cash slot both accept and dispense cash through it; newer-design bills work almost everywhere, old-design bills are rejected by all machines. For change in small bills, go to a bank branch or exchange office instead of an ATM.
