TL;DR
In many hotels in Egypt, rooms usually come with basic toiletries, a kettle, tea, and sugar, but coffee is not always included. Daily housekeeping often happens even without tips, while tipping may only result in small extras like fruit or juice in the room.
A recent report says the room had a kettle, several types of tea, and sugar. Coffee was not provided, so travelers who prefer brewed coffee may want to bring their own.
Another traveler said the room was restocked daily with soap, shower gel, and shampoo, plus tea and coffee sachets. This suggests that basic toiletries and hot drinks are often included.
Guest feedback suggests that good daily housekeeping can happen even without tips. In one case, tipping only led to a small extra in the room: a fruit plate and a pack of juice, rather than a major change in service.
