Tipping (Baksheesh) Etiquette

Tipping is an entrenched custom of gratitude in Egypt. Carry small banknotes (20, 50, 100 EGP) for site guardians, boat captains, and temple custodians. Standard dining gratuity is 10–12%.

Optics

Sacred Photography Rules

Flash photography is strictly prohibited inside royal burial chambers to preserve ancient organic pigments. Tripods require a special permit. Always politely ask with a smile before photographing local artisans.

Attire

Respectful Dress Code

Cover shoulders and knees when exploring active mosques, Coptic monasteries, and heritage souks. Loose, breathable linen or cotton garments provide optimal cooling under the sun.

Hydration

Hydration & Plateau Logistics

Carry a minimum of 1.5L of sealed mineral water during open-air archaeological explorations. Use electrolyte packets during hot midday hours and wear broad-brim hats.

Bargaining in historic bazaars is an art of courteous connection, often accompanied by fresh mint tea. Negotiate with warmth and a smile; mutual cordiality yields the finest memories.
