An integral part of Egyptian life is tips for minor services. Here they are called "baksheesh". Its size is usually within a pound. It is customary to give baksheesh to a boy who opens a car door, a hotel clerk who brings a suitcase (this is a common practice), a self-proclaimed guide in an ancient temple, maids (daily or about 10 LE per week), cleaners in toilets 50 piastres, attendants (1 - 2 LE), whose assistance to the guest in some way went beyond his direct official duties or when they were performed very well.
Restaurants are another matter. There are already real tips, not baksheesh. Usually the waiter is given change from one to five pounds, rounding up the bill.
Ministers in museums and temples, owners of camels also build their tactics of relations with visitors based on baksheesh. For some, this is done delicately, they can give some advice, provide the necessary service, for example, suggest an advantageous angle when photographing. This does not mind a couple of pounds. Others are persistent to the point of insolence, and one must hold firm with them.
When deciding to ride a camel, you need to remember: you can sit on it for free, but to go down, you have to pay.

Some Egyptians demand money for being photographed. A self-proclaimed guide at the pyramids or in the temple, dissatisfied with the amount received, may ask for more.
In the end, you need to pay those who really deserve a tip. And in order not to overpay, you need to have a trifle with you.

On a note:
Tips for maids are usually left on the bed, in a special envelope, under an ashtray or under a glass. When paying a bill in a restaurant, pay attention to whether the line “tips included” is present ...

Tipping was not given. Chocolate * Alenka * and everything was decided by itself! But as I noticed, Russians and Ukrainians are settled mainly on the second floor, without a balcony overlooking the neighboring building. This is what they call a reserve. Pleased with number 175-180 first floor. Less than a minute walk to the sea. To restaurants 2-3 minutes slowly.

Wonderful hotel for a quiet and relaxing holiday. Pulls on 4.5 stars, everything is on the level, tips only in a special box. All rooms are normal, no problem, where you will be accommodated depends, as I understand it, on the tour operator. You do not need to give money when checking in - this will not affect which room you will be settled in. All rooms are good in their own way. The food is super, normal packaged juices, tea to choose from in the lobby bar, alcohol - it's better not to drink, the poison is complete, the beer is weak, very good, so as not to go numb. I recommend, if available, tomato juice from iron jars - just super, you won’t try this in Russia.
