Currency questions for Egypt holiday

Fangio

I am contemplating a trip to Egypt principally, however will be visiting other countries such as Greece.
Is it a good idea to have currency such as US dollars to pay for small items, meals etc instead of using a visa card.
Is it acceptable/expected that people barter for things, what currency local or otherwise is the best method please.

As you mention, it would definately be a good idea to bring some US Dollars with you. You will need some cash, and US Dollars you can exchange almost anywhere - since 1 USD is about 6 LE at the moment. Just a word of advise, not all restaurants will accept visa cards.

Hope you have a great time.
