How much to tip in Egypt? Especially a cruise.

( www.reddit.com )

How much to tip in Egypt? Especially a cruise. We’re on a cruise over the Nile right now. It’s a 4 night cruise on a small sailboat. Only holds 10 guests maximum but we’re here with a total of 6 guests including us. We were told beforehand that at the end of the cruise we should tip, which is fine. We were never told how much but one of the other guests was told (by the cruise company) to t…

Two weeks in Egypt

( www.reddit.com )

Two weeks in Egypt Surprisingly had a better time than expected. We went with a tour guide and had minimal pestering while with our private guided tour. We spent time in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, and Alexandria. I will say I did not expect to spend as much money as I did on this trip but I was being overcharged everywhere I went and was unable to haggle the p…

are egypt night and light shows cool/worth it – or a gimmick? i’ll be visiting egypt in december – i see there is a light show at the pyramids, at karnak in luxor, and you can visit luxor at night all lit up. the last one seems genuinely cool to visit then – is it worth seeing both during the day and the evening, or is just one visit enough? and are the pyramid/karnak shows actually cool to catch, or more …

Tricky question – will an entry in my passport cause problems for me getting into Egypt?

( www.reddit.com )

Tricky question – will an entry in my passport cause problems for me getting into Egypt? Idk if anyone can even answer this, but here goes: I’m German, going to visit Egypt for the first time in my life tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to my one week of vacation on the red sea (purely touristic). I’ve just looked into my passport and discovered the Israeli entry from 2016 I had completely forgotten about. I was there as a touris…

Egypt Trip Report (It was awesome!)

( www.reddit.com )

Egypt Trip Report (It was awesome!) I thought I’d write a trip report on my experiences in Egypt, seeing as so many of the things I’ve read about the country on this forum have been negative. I’d read a lot of posts and heard from other travellers that the harassment was unbearable and the people were aggressive and pushy. I went to Egypt, preparing myself for the worst, but I can…

Just returned from Egypt, here are my thoughts.

( www.reddit.com )

Just returned from Egypt, here are my thoughts. I have just spent a week in Egypt spread over Cairo, Luxor and Hurghada (wish I had gone to Aswan instead). First of all I’d like to say the history is absolutely amazing and worth visiting for alone. The Pyramids, the temples, Kings and Queens tombs absolutely breath taking. The culture is also very interesting, I come from a very refined part …
