Forex
Private exchange bureaux - known as Forex - are usually open daily. They are faster and give a better rate for cash than banks and, unlike banks, will usually change Israeli shekels, and Jordanian and Libyan dinars - though again not NZ, Irish, Scottish or Northern Irish notes. In general, they will not accept travellers' cheques either. Downtown Forex bureaux include the Horus and the Al-Fakahany (better rates), two doors from each other in Sharia Alfi Bey (they will change travellers' cheques, but at a low rate, and may demand to see receipts); others are at 6 Sharia el-Bustan, 14 Sharia el-Bustan, 29 Sharia Emad el-Din by the New Cecil Hotel, and on the corner of Sharia Qasr el-Nil and Sharia Sherif. There are also two in Midan Ataba, one in Midan Orabi and one on Midan Hussein, up a flight of stairs opposite Fishawi's.
