Lunch on the trips is served in the form of buffet-style and is included in the price of our one day trips. During the desert safari trips your meal will be served in the open air (barbecue). During the sea cruises, lunch is also served in the form of a buffet. There are lots of options to choose from Arabic cuisine- kofta (minced lamb), chicken, beef, fish (if caught on the boat during the cruises), potatoes, rice and salads. Please remember that any drinks during our one day trips, for example to Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Aswan & Abu Simbel, Edfu & Kom Ombo, Dendera & Abydos or Jerusalem will cost extra. When going on a one day trip, you should be able to order a packed lunch from the hotel (breakfast box). In order to receive a breakfast box from your hotel, you should speak to the reception team a day prior to your trip. The order should be made and collected at the hotel reception. If you return from your trip late at night, you can request a late dinner. This can be taken in the restaurant at your hotel or as room service. Please inform reception as early as possible if you require this.

Baksheesh is a very popular form of tipping in Egypt given for rendered service. This is not alms! Baksheesh has its roots in tradition. Therefore it is highly recommended to be given not only by tourists but also by people who go to restaurants, coffee shops, hotels or on ships etc. Even the smallest service deserves tipping called baksheesh. It is advisable to give smaller sums but more frequent. If you think that service isn’t satisfactory, you don’t have to give a tip; however if you feel satisfied about the service you can give a bigger tip and this way you can show your appreciation.
In hotel, restaurants or coffee shops (regardless the category) you should leave tips equivalent to 10-15% of the service price. In addition to that you should give a baksheesh for each, even the minor service, not only to staff in hotel, coach drivers, jeeps, boat service, horse carriage carters and camel caretakers but workers in mosques, Coptic churches, ancient temples and tombs as well. They always try their best to deserve a tip by showing you, for instance, the place from which you can take a picture of an interesting object. Usually the tip of 1-2 dollars is sufficient.
Small gifts like pens, colorful markers or sweets (chocolate) are very appreciated by Egyptians, thus it is always a great idea to shop for them before coming to Egypt. 
  

Please do not give any money to children or women begging in the street!

Unfortunately the concept of baksheesh is often manipulated and wrongly used by street beggars who hope for extra cash from tourists. These beggars usually have no understanding of how to make a living, so they treat begging as a way of earning money.

The curency of Egypt is the Egyptian pound, which is divided into 100 piasters. Cash is generally easily obtained from ATMs, which can be found in larger towns and cities. Most of the major hotels and stores accept credit cards, such as Visa and MasterCard, along with traveller's cheques and certain foreign currencies like euro, sterling and dollars. If venturing off the beaten track you will find that generally  only the Egyptian pound in cash will be accepted.
