Egypt tipping guide


Wednesday, August 5, 2009

Going to Egypt and want to express appreciation for the service you received? Here’s how:

At Restaurants: The tip is included in the bill; add 5-10 percent above that.
At Hotels: One to two dollars a day for the housekeeper (pay throughout your stay to ensure great cleaning); $1 per bag for the porter; concierges are powerful and very helpful, so $10-$20 at the beginning of your stay will go far.
Guides and Drivers: Cabdrivers, 10-15 percent; guides (who almost never drive you), $20 per person per day; drivers a little less.

Dollars Accepted?: Everything is accepted, and often preferable to local currency.

    “With a few exceptions, tipping is not expected, and if you do not tip it will not affect the excellent service you receive.”
