Tipping in Egypt

In Egypt, it is common to tip in the local currency, which is the Egyptian Pound (EGP).

Tipping is a customary practice in Egypt, and it is appreciated for various services such as in restaurants, hotels, taxis, and tour guides.

Here are some general guidelines for tipping in Egypt:

- In restaurants: A tip of around 10-15% of the total bill is customary if a service charge is not already included. You can leave the tip in cash directly to the waiter.

- For hotel staff: It is common to tip hotel staff such as bellboys, housekeeping, and concierge with a small amount of EGP as a token of appreciation for their service.

- Taxi drivers: You can round up the fare or add an extra amount as a tip for taxi drivers.

- Tour guides and drivers: Tipping tour guides and drivers is also common in Egypt. You can consider tipping them based on the level of service provided.

It's always a good idea to have some small denominations of Egyptian Pounds on hand for tipping purposes.

Tipping is a way to show appreciation for good service, but it is not mandatory. Use your discretion based on the quality of service you receive.
