Don't give them coins, they can't change them, tip in 50 or 100 Egyptian pounds It all mounts up

Egyptian here, why would you tip in any currency other than Egyptian pounds?
Comment from : @Amghannam

If someone is generous enough to tip someone there, why should it matter if it is your currency of there's? They're lucky that you're tipping at all

We are on a Nile tour/cruise with one of the big river cruise companies They say tipping is included, but is giving an additional tip to their employees customary?

These tipping recommendations are too high… way too high brThey want usd because they get more money when they get US dollars It’s that simple brAs someone who has lived in the Arab World for almost 25 years… Pay them in their local currency Do not pay in dollars You will end up spending more money if you do

Do people use digital platforms for payment like paypal, cashapp, or venmo?

Those bathroom attendants need the money they get for their service I have heard that often tips are their entire salary Be generous She might be struggling to feed her family Prices of food and housing have risen like crazy and she is stuck in a stinky bathroom all day Usually, these ppl will fold the bill and kiss it in gratitude Thank you for this video

LOVE your informational videos! I go to Egypt every year and this is very helpful for me I love Egypt so muchLuxor is my favorite city but enjoy the entire country!! Not sure if you believe in psychic mediums, but my Medium Thomas John told me that I lived in Egypt my past liveswhich makes sense to me because I feel a strong connection there :)

Hi Gus, thanks for the info…very much appreciated Mate are ATM’s readily available for withdrawing cash? A group of us (six) from Australia are headed over end of Feb to late March 2025 (Ramadan) and we’ve been told different things about the availability of ATM’s…cheers

I'm glad you spoke about how to give a tip and what to say I've noticed that, even though tips are necessary compensation, most Egyptians want a tip as a form of gratitude and not as just something that is expected It seems that giving someone $5 and saying, "here you go," doesn't sit well and is awkward It works much better to give some sort of expression of thanks as you hand over the money Thanks for the excellent model of how to give a tip!

Really interesting watchdidn't realize how intense the tipping culture is in Egypt br(Now I feel like I'd have to iron all my tipping cash, lol)
Comment from : @Corbomite_Meatballs

Gus, are your recommendations for tips for guides and drivers the same for private tours? It's going to be just me, a guide, and driver most days and I will be asking the guide to take photos and video of me from time to time Thanks!
