TL;DR
Guest reports suggest EGP 50–100 is usually enough at resort cafés and restaurants; check first whether a service charge is already included. Some guests tip around US$10 per evening at the bar for extra-attentive service, but that is well above the usual amount.
What the community said
For prompt drinks and attentive table service, guests recommend tipping EGP 50–100. This is seen as enough to show appreciation without setting unrealistically high expectations.

At a café, pay the exact amount or clearly state the tip you want to leave. Otherwise, staff may treat the change as a gratuity and not return it.

At hotel bars, some travelers leave a larger tip of about US$10 per evening. They report more personal attention and faster service afterward, although this amount is optional.
