Hotel Crew:

On Average there are about 50 to 100 people working in the Hotel. The Guest sees only 5 or 7 persons of the crew. So it is unfair to give tips to people that you see and forget other people. That’s why there is a rule in all Hotels that Guest should not pay any tips for anyone during the stay. All Tips must be given at the end of your stay. You put your tips in an envelope and write the amount on the back then leave it at the Reception of your Hotel. All Tips will be collected from clients and divided to the whole Hotel Staff. This is a Fair solution for everyone.

Please Note:

Tips are not an obligation on you. It is redemption for a good service. However wages in Egypt are very low. So most people depend on tips to survive, but this is not an excuse to give a bad service. If you feel that the person is not offering you a good service or stressing you to give him tips, DO NOT GIVE TIPS or REDUCDE THE AMOUNT. But please tell him why you did that. In most cases if you don’t give tips, people such as Driver, Cruise Staff, Felucca Captain or Carriage Car Driver will think that you gave the tips to your guide to give it to them and will start a Hard Talking with him about that and waste your time.

 We wish you enjoyable holiday in Egypt
