Tipping
Tipping in Egypt is known as “baksheesh” and it is a way of life in the Middle East. Locals themselves usually tip whoever provides them with service. It is customary and even expected to tip small service providers. To make things as easy as possible and to avoid any hassle, Aladin Tours has a tip kitty; your tour leader will collect a contribution from everybody at the start of your tour and use this to tip anybody who has provided services to the group as a whole. A guideline for tipping is a minimum of $4 USD per day per person, you can pay in USD or the equivalent local currency (preferably local currency). If you feel that any service provider failed in maintaining or delivering a good service, please bring it immediately to the attention of your tour leader to be able to improve our service partners and so a deduction of tips can take place. Regarding the amount you should tip your tour guide, we suggest a minimum of 3$ per person per day, but at the end of the day it’s not a mandatory option.
