You can take chocolate, when you check in at the reception, we usually give a chocolate bar, instead of money, it works. Egyptians do not drink alcohol (most), no one needs souvenirs at all.

take a mask, snorkel, fins, camera, flip flops and green papers with you, bucks are called. 1 buck for each day, so that the room is well cleaned, the rest is optional, whatever you want to buy. If life is not a joy without vodka, buy it at the airport in duty free.

Only money and a mask with a cabin, you can also flippers)). There are enough souvenirs and a chocolate bar has not been "rolled" at the reception for a long time when you check in. Egyptians love green papers and their name is dollars!)

Now they settle in good rooms and without a tip - there are very few tourists. And for $ 1 to leave in the room for cleaning - yes, then every day you will admire the swans or flowers from the towels on your bed) If you want high-quality alcohol, then it's better to take it with you.

And I had fun from the bottom of my heart over your naive question. Dollars and only dollars or, for a change, euros go with a bang!

When I was driving for the first time, I also thought about what souvenirs to make the natives happy with? As a result, chocolate, seeds, vodka, etc. I had to eat it myself so as not to leave =), because no one needs them. Dollars are the best souvenir. There, the fights work for a very small official salary, and therefore they only hope for your dollar, which you will give them for delivering luggage to the room, for cleaning the room, for the towel swan, etc.

At the reception, a good chocolate bar or a box of chocolates plus dollars, depending on the class of the hotel
for the rest, you need to take a snorkel fins mask or buy Chinese ones there
From mosquitoes in the room for everyone ... rarely, but it happened
Flip flops to go into the water. Walk and not hurt your legs
There are medicines there and better than ours, but it is better to take active coal and nifuroxazide for poisoning
If you like good beer, then it’s better to throw it in a suitcase, beer is easier there, as a rule
By number, change money at the reception and put 1-2 for cleaning, it's up to you
The Visa card rules, and dollars can be withdrawn and paid, just remove the limit if there is one and notify the bank

We had a suitcase porter at our hotel in Sharm - he was a big fan of our chocolate, he was not interested in dollars - he gave it back (well, of course we didn’t take it), he asked everyone for chocolate, and even took half the tiles from the woman, which she took for herself in plane ...)) So you can grab chocolate. And they used to ask about vodka, but now they offer their own drinks in bars, they give a bottle of rum (whiskey, gin) for $ 5, so that tourists with glasses do not run back and forth.

Take a protective cream against burns, in winter the sun is active, do not try to tan while bathing the tan itself sticks. Smaller dollars for 1, 2, the guys will be happy. Buy a visa fee at the airport from any company where it is cheaper, the brand is the same. Positive attitude and good luck!

And if you are in Sharm and do not plan certain excursions, then you can not buy a visa at all, write sinay only in the card.

Chocolates and sausages from the homeland will be very welcome by our girls-guestrelations who work in hotels. Local staff will not appreciate accurately.
Vodka is generally appreciated. But not everyone will like this gift. This can even offend an Egyptian - many locals do not drink alcohol at all for religious reasons.
Let's give money as a tip. Now it is especially necessary for local residents.

Not everything can be converted into money, but just treat. We always travel with a company (10-15 people), we take with us good wine, good vodka, sausage, "dead fish" (ram), chocolate, "stolen-cacaine" (Barberry). We treat local merchants with chocolate in the hotel, drinking tea with them, you can treat the cleaners, just like that. Evening gatherings with our wine and vodka are more pleasant than their alcohol, so easy for the soul. Not all locals do not drink, even the coolest of ours, without clinking glasses. The beer ram is the bomb. From souvenirs we take Ukrainian symbols, and in the room there are always flags of Egypt and Ukraine. A good mood among vacationers is a good mood among the staff. Have a good rest and Happy February 23rd.

Completely agree with the previous answer. We always take chocolate and packages of seeds. The Egyptians ask like that, but do you have seeds? We treat just like that, not for something. They rejoice like children. Take cigarettes with you. Our pack costs about $1, and they have at least $5. Having treated the bartender with a pack of bartender's cigarettes, you will ensure yourself a good attitude and a cocktail without a queue))). And be sure to dollar units for cleaning. Do not forget to yourself to beer of pickles. There are very few of them.)

I confirm the Egyptians are very fond of our seeds and chocolate. But it's like a small present. But it's better for the servants to tip. Unless of course there was good service. Give a tip a couple of times and the staff will spin around you to please. Due to the lack of tourists, it is better to give money, gifts are good when there are a lot of people .............. This is so simple practical advice, just take it as a recommendation)))

Duty-free is full of Lindt. Why carry?
hotel staff in duty free is not purchased. A Alenka (a girl in a headscarf)))
they like it. Of course, nothing can replace "van dollar", but in addition to it, Alenka
good too.

Maybe "hotel staff" like Lindt more than "girl in a headscarf." Have you tried? I thought people were asking for themselves. And here chauvinism is in full bloom. For hotel employees, if you don't mind, give a decent tip. It's just that the comments are like "We give them colored glass, and they give us gold." Gentlemen, you are not savages!

Why on earth should we give Lindt a gift if our chocolate is just as good? Read the text carefully.
Nobody canceled the tip. IN ADDITION to the tip, to please,
while talking about family, children,
and in the form of a souvenir from our country, we give chocolate.

Kasja23, Well, you made me laugh with your answer that our chocolate is better than Lindt.
I worked for several years as a translator for a Swiss, I was treated to different chocolates, all varieties were delicious.
Once I could not stand it and asked why the Swiss. chocolate is delicious? And the Swiss told me that their cows graze high in the mountains and eat mostly flowers in the Alps.
What do our cows eat?
