well, this is the usual Egyptian "five" without "fingering"

In Egypt, 1 dollar is the norm for all hotels.
We have already spoiled Turkey a little :)
On the second day of our vacation in the Kemer-Tekirova-Palmariva Club Sapphire room, the cleaning lady beautifully laid out the bedspreads on the bed and cleaned up cleanly. For which she was left a duty buck the next day. The next day, the bucks clearly disappeared, but the cleanliness disappeared with it. Probably offended, we thought, and just didn’t offend the person anymore :) Unfortunately, until the end of the vacation, we didn’t see “masterpieces” from the cleaning lady, but we didn’t have any complaints about cleanliness either.

1330irina2010, you can leave nothing. The maintenance staff is doing their job. You don't leave tips in all the stores you go to in your hometown, do you? It's the same there. People fulfill their duty (under the contract), as a token of gratitude for a good rest (on departure) you can give a couple of dollars, in the same way in the lobby bar and in the restaurant (where you will dine). The main thing is with what mood you eat) Smile more. Many times I didn’t even see who cleans my room, but I always left notes like: Hello Muhamed, Have a nice day and senkyu for wedge in my room (in English), I sent such messages and at the end of the whole vacation I left 5 c.u. So there are no written rules, just be humane and you will also be treated the same) The Egyptians, like all Arabs, are very friendly people)

For Egypt, a $1 tip to either a porter or a bartender is enough for any hotel.
There are those who do not leave at all, but there is a small part that is larger, but there is no difference in cleaning - it all depends on the conscientious attitude to the work of the cleaner.
It works more clearly on the bartender =)

Yes, and the bartender is not given $ 1, but more ... But it depends on what to order .... If you transfer "Egyptian diluted bourda at 20 degrees" or you need their "signature non-alcoholic cocktails", then you can not give anything, and so- pour, this is "good" with them, not accountable, as I understand it ... And if you want original imported alcohol, it's $ 5-10 every three days .... But this is purely individual ... And more for cleaning nobody leaves a dollar anywhere in Egypt!

In Egypt, they also strew the bed with flower petals if women and girls are resting.
They are very observant, where there is a lot of cosmetics in the room - they make more efforts to romantically decorate the room.

I was in Hurghada for a single holiday, the cleaner was very, very normal (I couldn’t thank the children for a chocolate bar, but I also left cash baksheesh) and observant - I saw girlish things in the room, and that socks were not scattered, yy)) So, apart from the swans, he laid out for me the heart of their towels, but decorated with green leaves, is beautiful. And once I even posted a child))))))))) I heard that I was laughing on the whole floor, I ran, doooolny, that I pleased)))))))))
Sorry, on topic: $1 is a classic tip in Egypt. Somehow there were no small ones, I was in a hurry - I put 1 pound on the bed, it's less than a dollar (I won't leave the "ten"))), I was not offended. Yes, and chocolates. I didn’t even have a chocolate bar left, but a sweet bar brought from Ukraine (she gnawed chocolates herself in Egypt)))), handed them over - sincerely said that it was delicious, the children ate with pleasure. For them, this is a curiosity.

1 pound is less than 20 cents, i.e. less than 2 hryvnia ... In Ukraine, only alms in the church are served with such a trifle ....

To give baksheesh or not to give it is your right, not an obligation. Only if you want your room to shine with cleanliness, and the towels turned into a heart or a swan, leave a dollar in a conspicuous place when you go to the beach. We were in the absolute top five last year at Sharm Royal Diamond Beach, (VERY green) China rose-Hibiscus flowers only bloom one day. So these flowers were carefully collected every morning (before the hotel woke up) and then laid out on the wash basins and beds in the rooms. You can look at the pictures yourself on Yandex http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/3209/mpoltava2009.0/0_4ecc_91029fec_orig or http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/3814/mpoltava2009.9/0_21342_617520df_orig

Conclusion - tipping is not an obligation at all. This is only a payment in advance for your good mood. You left a buck in your room (don't leave more, don't spoil the cleaners) - your mood will skyrocket when you get back from the beach. For some reason, you are served at a bottling bar in a beach bar after these Germans or Englishmen, call the waiter right on the first day and give him 10 bucks. You will be surprised, but drinks will be brought to you directly to the sun lounger on the beach. Live and enjoy life and treat others the way you want them to treat you. And the main thing for Egypt - an open soul and a smile will help you understand and love this country and its people.
