Hello! What is the best way to tip? (going to Sharm). In dollars or egypt. pounds? And how much to whom? How much to give a person who brings things into the room?

Already checked repeatedly, because. in Egypt was 6 times, it is best to have a calm, even relationship with the maid, in the first place. Every day, leave $ 1 in the room (do not indulge,"appetite comes with eating") and you will have clean towels and a tidy room and they will not rummage through things, but if you took a laptop with you, it's better " put " more reliable. Porters also $ 1. "Do not shine" especially the euro, the Egyptians are impudent and 1 euro=$1. Farther...
Tipping, I understand your business to give or not. But would it be good form in Egypt to pay, purely on the bill with the service tax? And what kind of tax is this, to whom does it go to the staff or the state? We were in a restaurant in Hurghada "Star fish" on the bill with tax came out 146.5 pounds. Left 150. And then the most interesting. The waiter had the audacity to tell me to wait and open the folder with the money in front of me. And then ask for a tip. this is unquestionably bad behavior. I did not expect from such a famous restaurant.

In this country, life is built on tips. And as you correctly noted, giving them is your business. The fact that they begin to beg is one thing. But if you liked the service, regardless of the service tax, why not reward the employee? Arriving at the hotel one day, the suitcases were left at the reception, the employee decided to show the numbers, and then stood with outstretched hand, he didn’t like a couple of pounds, he wanted to get $ 5. But he just didn’t get them. Farther...

Basically, in the tourist zones, the tip is included in the bill, if not, then, as in many countries, it is 10% of the bill. You have the right not to leave them at all. Farther...
Is it appropriate to leave a maid, as a tip, chocolates in a hotel?
11 years ago  •  8 subscribers 8 answers

You can leave nothing at all, first see how they are removed. Usually they leave money, 1-2 leva. If you want to give a chocolate bar, it’s better to hand it in, otherwise they won’t understand. For some reason, it’s also customary to pay guides after the tour, this is unusual for us. We usually give 5 leva for two at the exit. Bulgarians are very surprised that this is not customary in our country. And, here, in a restaurant it is customary for us, but they simply round up to the whole leva and ... Farther...

They always left 1 dollar for cleaning, and if they didn’t make figures, they stopped leaving them at all ... It was like they took money, but they didn’t notice the cleaning ... It all depends on the attitude and attention of the staff to you, like it - leave it, don’t like it - no .... In bars - depending on how you drink. To be remembered for the subsequent service "out of turn" and "with soul", a couple of times you can leave for a dollar. And in principle, you can not leave at all. Farther...

When settling - no, not accepted. And the maids usually leave one or two euros for cleaning, which is quite enough. Sometimes they take it, sometimes they don't. Farther...

Tipping ("baksheesh") is very much loved and very welcome. It is necessary (preferably) to always have a few small dollar bills and 20-30 pounds (pounds) with you. They gave the bus driver (when loading and unloading suitcases), the porter at the hotel, all for a dollar. At the reception (after the offered number was not liked) they gave $20 for the best one. Three times five pounds were left on the cleaning beds in the room. With taxi drivers, you need to agree on the price of the trip in advan ... Farther...
The question of interest is this - if purchases are made in Germany and Austria, and the exit from the Schengen zone will be Hungary or Poland, then how is it right to do everything in order to return the money. Interested in actions that need to be correctly performed abroad. Which border guards should stamp Austrian and German? Where can I get them if there is no border control anymore. Or all the same, at the exit from Schengen, ask the Hungarians ... Who faced, write, please! Thanks in advance!

Good afternoon. The seals are not put by the border guard, but by the CUSTOMS OFFICER of the last Schengen country through which you leave the Schengen. Packages with purchases must be sealed before departure, then the customs officer, when crossing the border, will confirm the export of goods from the EU, and put a stamp on the Tax Free check. You can get a refund on a Tax Free check either at the point of payment at the border when leaving the EU, or in Russia, but whether it is possible in Uk ... Farther...

It's true about chocolate. Local chocolate is of very poor quality, and imported chocolate is very expensive. As a medium of exchange, you can also use cigarettes and even any candy, not necessarily chocolate. For many years now, we have been specially carrying ordinary barberries with us. And on the plane it helps to pass the time, and it really helps any negotiations with the Egyptians. Money is, of course, a universal equivalent, but there are things that an ordinary Egyptian in his country ... Farther...
