Probably best to have some cash anyway, but even that's not necessary anymore. During my last long transit there in January I found one of the bank booths for VOA actually take credit card now. I want to say it was the 2nd one from the right as you approach them from the terminal (this was T2).
I only found this out because I wanted to use leftover NZ$ to pay for it but they don't take NZ$ there (surprised as typically Egyptian currency traders will take nearly anything) and he mentioned I can use credit card. Saved my US$ cash for another day.

There's also the inter-terminal train now (not airside) (
