ExpectedCash preferred

Red Sea all-inclusive packages cover food and drink, not gratuities, and resort staff depend on them. Twenty to fifty pounds per round at the bar, 100–200 pounds a day for a waiter or pool attendant who looks after you, plus housekeeping daily. Some resorts run a shared tip box at reception as an alternative.

Cash or card?

Card tipping is not practical outside of large hotels. Cash in Egyptian pounds is essential; foreign notes are accepted but often at a poor rate.
