Should you tip hotel housekeeping in Sharm El Sheikh, and what in-room laundry amenities should you expect?

TL;DR

Leaving around US$1 per day for housekeeping can result in more attentive service and towel decorations. An iron and ironing board may be available on request, but hotel wall-mounted hairdryers can be weak, so bringing your own is useful.

What the community said

A daily tip of about US$1 may encourage more attentive housekeeping and towel-animal decorations. It is more practical to leave the tip each day rather than as one amount at the end of the stay.

US$1 per day

If you need to press clothes, ask reception for an iron and ironing board; these items may be provided on request, so you may not need to find an external laundry service.

Bring a compact personal hairdryer if styling matters to you: built-in hotel wall dryers can be low-powered and inconvenient for fully drying hair.
