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.
This is a great datapoint - thanks. My last trip through I wanted to save my US$ and tried three booths in T2. None would take GBP, CAD, or AUD. since the devaluation the USD and EUR are definitely king. Really surprised at the credit card datapoint but good to know!
