How much should you tip hotel housekeeping in Hurghada, Egypt (and in what currency)?

From messages by 3 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 82 days ago

TL;DR

Tip housekeeping around $1 USD or 50 Egyptian pounds per day, in small bills; skip chocolate or souvenirs from home as tips.

What the community said

One traveler suggests bringing US dollars and asking reception or the hotel bar to break a large bill into smaller ones — much more practical than chocolate, which just melts in the heat.

Small USD bills

Another traveler used to leave $1 or 50 EGP daily, but stopped once housekeeping started making towel animals as a 'thank you' — she wasn't a fan of the gesture.

$1 or 50 EGP per day

Another guest leaves $1 every day and reports the room's mini-bar is always fully stocked as a result — he doesn't pay attention to the towel-animal decorations.

$1 per day
