A) yes B) use Egyptian pounds or American dollars.. I took my bank card visa and took Egyptian pounds out of the ATM'S in Cairo, Luxor ,Alexandra, Aswan. Locals will prefer cash over cards for market's. I was able to take out $2000 Egyptian pounds at one time. Locals like to get American dollars as the exchange rate is better for them back to Egyptian pounds.. Its good to barter for items. And be prepared to walk away if you aren't happy with the price. Haggling is expected and respected by traders . A rule of haggling is half what they offer as a price and work back up to a quarter of the original price.
Until December, it was still in the Egyptian Museum. The new one where they told me they are transferring all that (in Giza) was not ready yet. Magnificent by the way
