Gratuities And Tipping:

How much is the average Tipping and when to give it?

Nile Cruise Crew:

Around 50 to 70 people working in the Nile Cruise boat. The Guest sees only 5 or 7 persons of the crew. So it is unfair to give tipping to people that you see and forget other people. That’s why there is a rule in all Nile Cruises that Guest should not pay any tipping for anyone during the Nile Cruise Trip. Tipping must be given at the end of your trip. You put your tipping in an envelope and write the amount on the back then leave it at the Reception of your Nile Cruise. All Tipping will be collected from clients and divided to the whole Cruise Staff. This is a Fair solution for everyone.

The Tipping is about 3 to 5 US$ Per Person per Night. For Example, if you are 2 Person and having a 4 Nights’ accommodation in Nile Cruise your Tipping Amount will be:

4 US$ x 4 Nights x 2 Person = 32 US$.

So you Leave 32 US$ in an Envelope at the Reception on the End of your Nile Cruise Trip.

For The Drivers, Representatives and Guides:

The following amounts are Recommended and on a Per Person Basis (in American Dollars USD).

Luxor Representative 3 to 5 US$

Aswan Representative 3 to 5 US$

Guides 5 to 7 US$ (Per Day)

Drivers 3 US$ (Per Day)
