Check out our Q&As
-
What is the tipping policy?
Is it a common practice to give tips in Egypt? Due to the low salaries of many professionals in Egypt, many people depend on tips, or Baksheesh as it is called in Egypt, as a major part of their income. Therefore, tipping is considered customary in Egypt. – How much should I tip? – The amount depends on the situation. In a restaurant, it is good to give between 5 and 10% tip directly to the waiter even when there is service added to the bill. The service tax does not go to the waiter. For a small favor, like carrying luggage or parking a car, a few Egyptian pounds would be appropriate. Not more than five. Often in Egypt, you will find someone tending to the bathroom to keep it clean. Giving them one Egyptian pound is an appropriate amount. – Tipping your tour guide and your driver is completely optional but should be considered if you’re provided with great service. If you decide to tip feel free to give what you think your experience was worth for driver for example if you are 2 people for a full-day in Cairo or Abu Simbel or long drive day he will expect like 20 USD for guide will be a little more, and this all as an act of gratitude and no obligation.
