Egypt is the land of Baksheesh: To save you the stress of constantly tipping on board, your local tour guide will collect an amount of €6-€7 per person per night on the ship at the beginning of the trip, depending on the ship's category. This sum will be used for all the "good spirits" who make your vacation as pleasant as possible and is considered a recommendation from us.
