Some restaurants may include a service charge, but leaving an additional tip for exceptional service is still common. Similarly, hotel staff who assist with luggage or provide extra services appreciate a small tip.
It is customary for tour guides and drivers to give a tip at the end of your tour or excursion. The amount can vary depending on the length and complexity of the tour, as well as the level of service provided. A tip of around 10-15% of the tour cost is considered appropriate as a general guideline.
It’s worth noting that tipping in Egypt is a personal choice, and the amount you tip is at your discretion based on the level of service you receive. However, it is important to remember that tipping is an integral part of the local culture and can significantly contribute to the livelihoods of those working in the service industry.
When giving tips, it is recommended to have small denomination notes or coins readily available, as it can be challenging to get change for larger bills. It’s also a good practice to carry a supply of small bills to ensure you have appropriate tipping amounts when needed.
By tipping in Egypt, you show appreciation for the services provided, contribute to the local economy, and support the livelihoods of those working in the tourism industry.[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”Can I take pictures while visiting the monuments in Egypt?” style=”rounded_outline”]Yes, you can generally take pictures while visiting the monuments in Egypt.
