During your visit to Egypt, you can expect a mix of modern conveniences and ancient charm, making Egypt a must-visit destination for travelers.

Yes, Egypt is generally a safe country for tourists and has been titled as one of the best and safest tourist destinations for many years. Major tourist destinations like Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea resorts prioritize visitor safety. Surrounded by warm hospitality, and courteous and kind-hearted locals – you’ll feel at home and as safe as you’ll ever be.

The government has implemented stringent measures to ensure that these areas remain secure. Luxor Booking Tours takes additional precautions, including working with trusted local guides and arranging private transportation to provide a worry-free experience. As with any travel destination, it’s important to stay informed, follow local guidelines, and avoid venturing into unfamiliar areas alone. 

The amount of money you should bring depends on your travel style and planned activities. Egypt is known for being budget-friendly, but there are opportunities to splurge if you’re seeking luxury experiences. Based on your level of accommodations, the amount of money you spend reflects this.

For everyday expenses, such as meals, tips, and souvenirs, $50–$100 USD per day per person is a good estimate. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, major restaurants, and shops, but it’s always a good idea to carry some cash for smaller vendors, tipping, and local markets. ATMs are easily accessible in cities and tourist areas for cash withdrawals.

Here’s a general guide to help you know when and how much to tip:

Tour Guides and Drivers:

Tour Guide: 250–375 EGP per day, per person.
Driver: 125–250 EGP per day, per person.

Hotel Staff:

Bellboys: 25–50 EGP per bag.
Housekeeping: 25–50 EGP per night.

Restaurant Staff:

Most restaurants include a service charge, but leaving an additional 5–10% of the bill in cash is customary.

Boat Cruises (e.g., Nile Cruises):

A pooled tip for the entire staff is often suggested, ranging from 250–375 EGP per person, per day.

Miscellaneous Services:

Public Restroom Attendants: 5–10 EGP.
Local Market Helpers or Porters: 10–20 EGP.

Tipping Tips for Travelers

  • Be Discreet: Hand tips directly to the person you’re thanking.
  • Ask Your Guide: When unsure, ask your guide for advice on appropriate tipping amounts.
  • Plan Ahead: Budget for tipping as part of your trip expenses to avoid surprises.
Optional Tipping
While tipping is appreciated, it’s always at your discretion. If you’re not satisfied with the service provided, you’re under no obligation to tip.

Egypt is a culturally rich and diverse country with traditions deeply rooted in its history. To make the most of your visit:

  • Dress Modestly: While tourist areas are relaxed, it’s respectful to cover shoulders and knees when visiting religious sites or rural areas.

  • Learn Basic Phrases: Knowing a few Arabic greetings, like "Salam Alaikum" (hello) or "Shukran" (thank you), is always appreciated.

  • Tipping (Baksheesh): Tipping is customary in Egypt and a way to show appreciation for services. Carry small denominations for guides, drivers, and restaurant staff.

  • Be Open-Minded: Embrace the vibrant energy of local markets, savor traditional dishes, and take time to learn about Egypt’s fascinating heritage.

While it’s possible to explore Egypt on your own, having a professional guide greatly enhances your experience. A knowledgeable guide can:

  • ●Provide historical context and fascinating stories about the sites you visit.
    Navigate the logistics of tickets, transportation, and timing, making your trip hassle-free.
    Offer insights into local culture, traditions, and hidden gems that you might miss otherwise.
