Thomas Cook
The modern-day descendant of the world's first tourist company, Thomas Cook can change foreign currency and most brands of travellers' cheques into Egyptian money. Their central branch at 17 Sharia Bassiouni (daily 8am-5pm; tel 574-3955, fax 576-2750) also sells travellers' cheques in return for dollars or sterling, with no nonsense about cardholders. It will also exchange one hard currency for another in the form of travellers' cheques. However, they have a bad reputation when it comes to lost or stolen travellers' cheques; you may have to kick up a fuss - or even demonstrate outside - to get a full refund. There are other branches of Thomas Cook in the Semiramis Intercontinental (tel 355-7171 ext 1918); Mena Palace Hotel (tel 382-2688) near the pyramids; in Heliopolis (7 Sharia Baghda, tel 417-3511); Mohandiseen (10 26th July St, tel 346-7187); and Ma'adi (88 Street 9, Station Square, tel 351-1419).
