How Much to Tip a Tour Guide in Egypt

Tipping, or "baksheesh," is a deeply ingrained part of Egyptian culture and is widely expected in the tourism industry. While not mandatory, it is a customary way to show appreciation for good service. When it comes to tipping a tour guide in Egypt, the amount depends on factors such as the type of tour, the level of service, and the size of your group. For private tours, tipping $10–$20 per person per day is standard, while for group tours, a tip of $5–$10 per person per day is appropriate. If you receive exceptional service, consider tipping on the higher end of the range. In addition to tour guides, drivers, hotel staff, and cruise crew members also appreciate small tips. Carrying small bills in Egyptian pounds (EGP) or US dollars is recommended, as tipping is often done in cash. Ultimately, tipping is a personal decision, but it is always appreciated and helps support those working in the tourism sector.
