A tip is how much you want to give if you like the service.
As a rule, I change somewhere between 10-20 dollars for pounds right at the airport. And then - if I like cleaning in the room - I leave 2-3-.. pounds for each money, or already at departure.
When you check in at the reception, you may be asked for some amount for the best room.
The porter will carry your suitcases to your room and you can also give him a couple of pounds, because he will shift from foot to foot while waiting.
You can give it to the waiter, or leave the money in a special box in the restaurant.
Well, and so on.
You can give nothing to anyone at all.

Tipping is an optional but desirable thing... The approximate size of a tip is 1 dollar if you want to reward the staff in the hotel, in restaurants and bars, as usual, about 10% of the check... Maestro cards and visa work, money you can exchange at any bank branch, including at the airport...

We arrive and change 100 dollars for pounds at the airport. Then we change in banks in the city. We leave 2-3 pounds in the room for cleaning every day. To the porter at check-in and check-out. but only after we chose a room and we liked it. In all cafes outside the hotel. In the hotel, the waiters in the main restaurant are very rare, as they always got into hotels where this is not welcome and the waiters take money very carefully. he made friends with us and tried to serve us in front of us and received a thrashing from a senior manager for taking a tip, while there was no special tip box. So everything is different in different hotels individually.

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 advance, otherwise they can "rip off at exorbitant prices." And, in general, you need to talk politely, but strictly, i.e. give baksheesh only if YOU think they DESERVED it.

You can always exchange a few dollars in any exchanger, of which there are a lot in Sharm. On our last trip, some exchangers exchanged not only dollars, but also rubles for pounds. And then, from the first minute, you don't need pounds. You can give a porter at a hotel $1, or you can give nothing at all. The janitor doesn't even have to leave a tip, we've left him £1 to £5 a few times. So don't worry too much about this issue. It practically does not affect the quality of rest.

a dollar is enough, some give one pound each, but IMHO this is redneck

Initially left two c.u. for cleaning the room. And then their boss asked to leave less, said one cu. will be sufficient;)

we always leave a pound for cleaning, more is superfluous.
in cafe-restaurants they have the audacity to choose their own tip amount - i.e. they just won't bring the whole thing.

We have never been in such a restaurant where they did not inform the zdacha.

Leave for cleaning or not - we did not see the difference. Cleaned equally well, nothing more. Therefore, once they left a dollar, a couple of times five pounds. In principle, pounds can not be changed at all, because. everywhere they take dollars very willingly. Is that to go to the toilet on the way to Cairo.

as advised above
exchange part of the money for local pounds
it is very convenient for tipping the maids (for cleaning)
an average of 3-5 pounds (as you see fit)
we don't leave every day
And the porter, the waiters usually give 1 bucks.
we usually “feed” the waiter on the first day
and then, coming to the restaurant, we are always prepared
our favorite table, and you don’t have to run for water / wine
but here is the master's business so to speak
