It is clear that a restaurant needs money for tips, BUT even in Dubai I saw how a quite decent couple, after having dinner, put the rest of the food in a box, smiled sweetly (I don’t know if they tipped over the bill) and presented a small Alenka to the waiter, for which, he was delighted, ran to personally open the door and babbled something in gratitude. In short, the conclusion is this: who is ashamed, not convenient, not pleasant - thank with money, who wants to - thank with anything, especi ... Farther...

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...

All sorts of crap, such as cheap chocolate, seeds, etc., are brought to Egypt by greedy tourists. Non-greedy tourists rest in the Emirates and such a hole as Egypt is usually not encouraged by its highest attention. Farther...
In thought - how much to take small dollars? We are going for seven nights. Is 100 enough? For a dollar for cleaning, 20 - I want to ask for a room at the pool. To whom else and how much is it customary to give? Bartenders on the beach? A waiter in a hotel restaurant? We'll take euros with us, and I'll exchange them for pounds on the spot.

People live curly, litter with money for 100 bucks for a tip! All my life I thought that a tip is a reward for a service that exceeds the standard, and not for every sneeze of the bartender and cleaning lady that is included in their functionality. And I hadn’t heard about the position of the conductor across the road before. Are you in all countries the maid for a dollar a day leaves or only Egypt is so lucky? Better spend $100 on souvenirs for family and friends. 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...
