How to choose a wallet in Egypt
1. Count your cards and cash
If you carry many bank and ID cards, choose a model with more slots, such as the MR 84 (13 slots) or MR 83 (8 slots). If you carry only a few, a compact wallet like the MR 81 or MR 82 is lighter.
2. Decide how you carry it
Slim and foldable wallets fit a front pocket. A long wallet such as the MR 83 suits a bag or jacket pocket and has room for notes and coins.
3. Check the material
Oxford weave and wrinkle-resistant fabric are light and easy to clean. PU leather looks smarter and suits travel documents.
4. Think about coins and travel needs
Only the MR 83 has a dedicated coin compartment. For passports and SIM cards, the MR 604 is the one to pick.
5. Warranty and where you buy
Buy from an authorised agent. Our Mark Ryden products come with a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.
