What should I do if cash goes missing from my hotel safe in Egypt?

Do not rely only on speaking with housekeeping: report the loss to reception and guest relations. Send a copy of the complaint to your tour representative and travel agent or tour operator.

If the cash is not returned and the hotel does not start an investigation, state in writing that you will request police assistance within 24 hours. You can also record your interaction at reception to document the hotel’s response.

Before filing a report, check luggage, pockets, and other storage spots again: travelers note that cash or belongings can sometimes be misplaced.
