It is clear that a restaurant needs money for tips, BUT even in Dubai I saw how a quite decent couple, after having dinner, put the rest of the food in a box, smiled sweetly (I don’t know if they tipped over the bill) and presented a small Alenka to the waiter, for which, he was delighted, ran to personally open the door and babbled something in gratitude. In short, the conclusion is this: who is ashamed, not convenient, not pleasant - thank with money, who wants to - thank with anything, especi ... Farther...

All sorts of crap, such as cheap chocolate, seeds, etc., are brought to Egypt by greedy tourists. Non-greedy tourists rest in the Emirates and such a hole as Egypt is usually not encouraged by its highest attention. Farther...

In thought - how much to take small dollars? We are going for seven nights. Is 100 enough? For a dollar for cleaning, 20 - I want to ask for a room at the pool. To whom else and how much is it customary to give? Bartenders on the beach? A waiter in a hotel restaurant? We'll take euros with us, and I'll exchange them for pounds on the spot.

People live curly, litter with money for 100 bucks for a tip! All my life I thought that a tip is a reward for a service that exceeds the standard, and not for every sneeze of the bartender and cleaning lady that is included in their functionality. And I hadn’t heard about the position of the conductor across the road before. Are you in all countries the maid for a dollar a day leaves or only Egypt is so lucky? Better spend $100 on souvenirs for family and friends. Farther...

This is where I disagree with you! It has been proven from personal experience that if you tip the service personnel, the attitude and quality of service improves significantly. To be more specific, at the ROYAL ALBATROS MODERNA hotel we gave tips to the bartenders in the bar by the sea, so they brought coffee, cocktails and other drinks to the sunbeds, sang songs and danced dances with our child))) And the cleaners always cleaned and decorated just fine room!

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 advan ... Farther...
I have all bills of 100, in my city I can’t exchange them for small bills, in all banks there are only large bills. So I’m tormented by the question of where to get money for 1 dollar (for tips) thanks.

It’s better, of course, to exchange money for small houses, and in Egypt you can change it for pounds, it’s more profitable to pay with them, the official rate is 5.79, and in stores or in the market it’s a maximum of 5.2, but don’t change a lot right away, 20-30 dollars, you have there is an exchange office nearby with a good exchange rate.
