Do you need to tip tour guides in Sharm El Sheikh, and how reliable is their advice?

One traveler noted that many local guides have fairly limited expertise, so it's better not to ask them detailed or technical questions — the answer may be inaccurate.

According to travelers' experience, guides in Sharm El Sheikh often hint at tips themselves or become noticeably less helpful if you don't tip — something many visitors find annoying.

A traveler's tip: don't tip automatically — reserve tips for genuinely good service, e.g. when the guide was actually helpful and attentive.
