hi, thanks but as i said, i dont have dollars and cant get them, no one will sell me them.

hi, thanks for replying-can i really? wont i need to prove residency, job income and all that? Is city stars mall in Nasr city? ive heard of it but not been there yet. Thanks.

Yes. City stars is in Nasr city. You don't have to worry about exchanging the money. The bank will convert it for to US$. Or E£

hello again, is it the Ahli United bank? just want to be sure because there is one called QNB Ahli as well! thanks.

Yes it's the Ali. Tied bank. Ask to see Michel he will help you

well, i went all the way to City stars today and asked for Michel and he told me to see customer services who told me i cant have an account because i'm not a resident here. Well, exactly as i said on my first post, it was a complete waste of time! Thanks anyway.

Hi

I opened an account with Union National Bank by showing them my passport and visa (6 months). The bank has its HQ in the Emirates. I am on a tourist visa. They want a year but 6 month automatically renews for the year. I opened the account 2 weeks before my first 6-month visa was due to expire. 

Hope that helps. I don't live in Cairo so not sure where the branch is.  You can google it to phone first to double check.

You should be able to transfer money through Western Union although their commission is hefty. I did it in Oman and it was 15gbp to send 1000K.

Good luck

thanks, it's worth a try!
