  hot and the nights cool, with only two seasons a
  very hot summer between May and October, and a
  mild winter from November to April. Cairo is very
  dry, receiving on average only about a centimetre

• Required Clothing Loose, lightweight, modest
  cottons and linens with warmer clothes for winter
  and cooler evenings are culturally and
  climatically suitable.
• Money The unit of currency is the Egyptian Pound
  (EGP), which is divided into 100 piastres. Most
  credit cards are accepted in major hotels and
  restaurants. Visitors are advised to take
  travellers cheques in US Dollars or Pounds to
  avoid additional exchange rate charges. Banks are
  usually closed on Friday and Saturday, but
  private exchange bureaux, called 'Forex', are
  open daily and banks in major hotels are open 24
  hours. Cairo branches of the Egyptian British
  Bank and Banque Misr now have ATMs available that
  accept Visa, MasterCard and Cirrus and are quite
  common in the main tourist areas.
