Massawa - Banks & Financial

Sep 24, 2019

There are no ATMs. An official authorisation is required to exchange currency at the bank.

All except hotels require cash.

There is quite a difference in bank/official and street exchange rate (10 NFA versus 15 NFA = 1 USD). So depending on how you exchange your money, the place could be expensive and/or very cheap.

It is recommended to make a bank exchange, at least for the visa cost amount - to have a proof of funds exchange.
