In Egypt, any ATM with UnionPay logo can use UnionPay debit card to withdraw money, but the landlord should pay attention to the fact that Egyptian ATMs don't recognize chips, so if you are a bank card with chips, you can't. Only that kind of magnetic stripe card can be used to withdraw money from ATMs. It is suggested that the landlord bring a bank card with no handling fee for withdrawals from different places and countries.

As for credit cards, many small businesses in Egypt can't use credit cards, let alone UnionPay debit cards. Some merchants can swipe their cards. Most of them don't have UnionPay channels, only visa or MasterCard. So if you want to bring a credit card, you'd better prepare one in full currency, which is available in both Bank of China and China Merchants Bank. I use the full-currency credit card of China Bank, and there is no annual fee and currency conversion fee, but I have never used it in Egypt. ...

When I was in Egypt, I mostly paid in cash. Because the bank card is a chip card, it cannot be successfully taken out of the ATM. Fortunately, I brought dollars, so I changed them into Egyptian pounds. The exchange rate is almost 100 USD =760 Egyptian pounds. I wonder if there is any change now.
