How much to tip hotel housekeeping in Egypt and what gifts do they appreciate?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 15 days ago
TL;DR
Tip hotel housekeeping $1 per day in Egypt. Small chocolate gifts (like Alyonka bars) are also well received and often result in extra-attentive service with towel animals and rose petal decorations.

Leaving $1 plus a few small chocolates works well — housekeeping accepts both happily and often decorates the room as a thank-you.

Tipping $1 per day results in thorough cleaning, towel animals, and rose petal decorations. If you need extra toiletries like shampoo, just ask and housekeeping will bring more.

A large chocolate bar can work just as well as cash — housekeeping staff appreciate the gesture and tend to provide especially attentive service, including floor washing and towel art daily.
