TL;DR
Currency can be exchanged at ATMs (including hotel ATMs), banks, and exchange offices. Banknotes without markings or stamps are accepted everywhere.
If your hotel is outside central Hurghada, in a suburb or nearby settlement, exchange options are more limited: usually only exchange-enabled ATMs are available there, while central Hurghada also has exchange offices and bank branches.
A specific exchange point mentioned near the large Fix Price: if you leave the hotel and walk right for about 1.5 km, after CASINO there is a bank with two indoor ATMs that can exchange currency. There are also two ATMs inside Fix Price, but they often do not work, so the bank across the road is considered more reliable. Going in the morning is recommended because it is less crowded.
Currency can be exchanged at exchange offices around the city, at bank branches (before reaching the hotel, passport required), and at Senzo Mall shopping centre.
Banknotes without any writing or stamps on them are accepted at exchange offices, banks, visa payment points, and ATMs without issues.
Hotel ATMs are a convenient option for currency exchange. For getting around, the inDrive app works well. Popular spots to visit include Nord Square and Marsa — note that Marsa requires a QR code and restaurant reservation.
Money can be exchanged at an ATM or directly at a bank branch. Getting around is easy on foot, by minibus, or taxi depending on your location and destination.
