How much should I tip in Egypt?

Tipping, or “baksheesh,” is a common practice in Egypt and is often expected for good service. For drivers and guides, it’s customary to give around $5–$10 USD per day for each. In restaurants, 10–15% is a fair tip if service charge isn’t included. Small tips for hotel staff, porters, and bathroom attendants are appreciated — even 5–10 EGP can go a long way. Always keep small change handy.
