Chocolates and seeds fly away with a bang, vodka (I took Nemirov), you can give it at the reception when you check in, so that you don’t have to pay dollars for an improved room, sea view, etc.

Do not give vodka or cognac categorically: it will come in handy. As gifts, you can and should take: chocolates (preferably without any fillers such as nuts, strawberries, etc.), caramels such as barberry, cigarettes, in some cases you can beer. A cleaning dollar is sacred.

Cleaners hand over tips to a common piggy bank. Presents are accepted with a bang. Although in one of the shops the seller asked us how much each souvenir, brought to him as a present by tourists, was worth and added up the amount, did he make a mistake)

I wasn't very knowledgeable. Went for the first time. I took gift boxes of chocolate with brandy and rum. Some alcohol was embarrassing, they did not want to accept a present. It is better to take just chocolate. There was a case when we were offered to exchange chocolate for dollars.

All sorts of crap, such as cheap chocolate, seeds, etc., are brought to Egypt by greedy tourists. Which I consider a dollar for tea as an unaffordable luxury and spending money.
Of course, for hotel staff, whose salaries start at $50 a month, money is the best measure of their work. So it has always been, is and will be. Keep in mind that the Egyptians have nowhere to change euro coins. Therefore, tea in the form of metal euros, unfortunately, is useless.
A dollar daily rumboy, a dollar bell boy that brings and takes away your luggage, 5 dollars at the beginning of your holiday to your waiter in the main restaurant, the same amount for your favorite bar in their common fund - this is the minimum that we always give out in our hotels. We consider it necessary to encourage waiters in alacarta, in lobby bars. We are always happy to tip the cleaner in the beach toilet. We encourage the waiter who delivers drinks and fruits along the beach, as well as the beach caretaker who delivers wet towels and wipes glasses.

Non-greedy tourists rest in the Emirates and such a hole as Egypt is usually not encouraged by its highest attention.

Yeah, why not give the animators, but the guide, and why bargain, since they are so poor? :-)

At the reception upon arrival: "Salam Aleykum", a chocolate bar, a pack of cigarettes, 5-10 dollars. For cleaning the room - a dollar or in local currency at the rate + chocolate / cigarettes. The animators were presented with a bottle of vodka, a piece of lard, seeds - everyone was happy. Learn a couple of words in Arabic and smile - everything will be fine!

Having heard a lot that the Egyptians are very fond of our seeds, chocolate and cigarettes, and they just ask and demand it from tourists, they took all this with them in January of this year to Sharm. Cigarettes were brought back, chocolate and seeds were given as a load of $ 1 for cleaning so as not to be taken back. Take a lot of little things for $ 1 and you will be happy.

Of course, you need to leave a tip, at least a dollar, it won’t decrease from you, and for an employee, this is a decent increase in their penny salary (unfortunately). For example: the salary of a janitor is $ 30
