I usually bring dollars as well as local because i cant keep up with the devaluation of the Egyptian pound I think it has just dropped 30 last month alone

Excellent content, I wish I’d watched your video earlier I am currently in Cairo and I’d tipped a meet and greet person £1 coin to arrange a taxi transfer at the airport because I didn’t have any small notes At least I know what is expected of me next when I am in similar situations

Comment from : @Queen_Nefertari

Hi Gus, I am traveling solo in Cairo but I have booked three 6 hour tours with Viator over a three day period to see Cairo My question: as a solo traveler on a private tour, how much should I tip both the tour guide and the driver? Should the overall amount be the same as if I was traveling with a friend? Thanks for any suggestions And my apologies for not booking with you - I only saw your website yesterday

Will it be better to tip on Egyptian pounds in general if you have it available?
Comment from : @marycolmenar1633

Hey great video My son and I are traveling to Egypt in May My credit card does not charge to use in Egypt but my debit card to use at an ATM does I’m looking to bring cash into the country My question is how many Egyptian pounds and US dollar can I bring through the airport? I’m nervous about using the ATM over there Thanks so much!

Good morning from Papua New Guinea I enjoyed watching your contents I liked and subscribed to your YouTube channel for more contents
Comment from : @yipmabaruya1148

I’ve just come back from Egypt People were delighted to have any money from any country The currency is really crashing They are happy with dollars euros dinars yen they truly are they’ll take anything and I noticed many museums will not even except the Egyptian pound they only want you to pay with a credit card or foreign currency
Comment from : @chrislaska5728

Egyptian museum has a big sign to say don’t tip the bathroom attendants yet they still try to ask for a tip The scammers with the camel and who take pictures at the pyramids try to get people to tip in usd or Chinese yuan
Comment from : @Phlegethon

I'm going to an all inclusive resort What about the waiters around the pool and beach areas? Each drink or at the end of the day? Thanks
Comment from : @mattjames88

Comment from : @Jthegreat84

We just got back from Egypt and found your videos to be very helpful
Comment from : @jackjohnson2101

Hello Gus, I was looking for tour guide in Cario I got quoted 5000 USD per person for one day tour for the pyramids Please advise if this is adequate or overpriced? Based on your blog and your video, sounds like this quote is too much Drop me a line and lets connect Thanks
Comment from : @user-xc4eh4kp9n

Im going on my own in two weeks so i will kerp your vidio close to me ta fir that
Comment from : @annierose6197

Dont be cheap with the tips but also try to not overtip in developing countries Egypt as a country can never reach its potential as long as a toilet cleaner makes much more than a police manbrI only tip if someone shows effort I would never give someone tip for just holding a door
Comment from : @dilach41

Exchange rate has gotten worse since this video was created So raise his suggestions by about 30 You'll be spending the same amount of dollars 👍
Comment from : @Kid_Ikaris

We are planning on coming as a large family (3 adults and 9 kids) What would tipping look like? Is it your recommended but times 12? That adds up a lot for us
Comment from : @sabrinaheisey6993

Great video, thanks for the info!
Comment from : @themasteryofvibration

Thank you for the information - I am going to Egypt in Nov '22, with Gate1 from JFK, a 15 day tour with a tour guide I am watching your video again bc it got a little confusing with the different currency calculations for the tipping - living in the NYC metro the standard we currently tip 25 - I plan on getting new US bills bf we leave to use for tips - I was planning on $100 in one dollar bills and at least $100 in five dollar bills for the small daily tips - totally separate from the tour guide & driver tips I have read that ATM's are easy to locate in Egypt - so we should be fine if we need more cash Thank you again for all of the informative video's - sad I didn't find your site until after I booked because you are a wealth of knowledge!
Comment from : @tracyg2623

I’m going to Egypt soonbrVery helpful videobrYou explained it well
Comment from : @munahussain2440

Are you a tour guide or do you offer tour services?
Comment from : @autumn_b905

Thank you for this video How do you tip on a cruise on the Nile if it is a cruise that lasts more than one day?
Comment from : @autumn_b905

I just got back a month ago And we tipped mostly in US dollars They love dollars but they must be nice Not torn or written on because they can not exchange it We tipped all of our guides very well They took so much time with us We were the only ones on our tour so we got a lot of attention Our driver we tipped st least 20 a day or more depending on the traffic in Cairo, if the traffic was unusually crazy, as it always is it could go higher
Comment from : @lindagurnish7540

Yep I agree with you When I was there I didn’t hesitate giving a dollar or 2 or 5 (depending on the service) in tip even though the tour guide said we didn’t have to tip that much because I knew they make so little
Comment from : @janeth3139

Gus, I have been all over the world and have never found a place which was so expectant of tipping the way the Egyptians are It can't be based on poverty either being Myanmar ad Laos are much poorer than Egypt I always wondered how the Egyptian society evolved in a way that tipping almost everyone a tourist encounters happened You have any clues to why Gus? Just curious
