Tipping Culture in Egypt

The idea of tipping started in the late nineteenth century from the United Kingdom “Britain”, and the story started with alcohol drinkers with bars, where they gave the waiter some extra cash, in order to hurry up to prepare their drink, and then moved as a general culture of the United States of America, and rejected by the majority of the people The American categorically rejected, and some of them vehemently opposed and held protests, and after that tipping in America became more mandatory than any other country in the world. The spread of tipping around the world is said to have been caused by businessmen and wealthy people waiting for fast and high-quality services.

Tipping is also called tip, which is the addition of a symbolic amount to the basic price when buying a good or providing a service, and it is often for taxi drivers or waiters, and tipping in some countries is mandatory for the customer and some countries refuse to be a bribe or defect. A young Lebanese man worked throughout his life as either a waiter or a leg in Beirut bars, he was fifteen years old when he entered the profession and learned its secrets and keys. He had thought that he understood the “tipping” system well, that is, how to make the customer leave you as much money as a tip, when he went to Damascus to work in a bar at Bab Touma, he discovered that the matter differed between the two cities, despite their proximity, and the proximity of the culture of their people. So how do things go in Egypt, for example? Tipping is prevalent in some Arab countries and not others, and in various ways, in Egypt it becomes part of the state’s dependence on the tourism sector. The salaries of workers in this field are often very small, because they depend on making the customer or the tourist leave as much money as possible. The average tip in Egypt is 5 to 10% of the final bill in a restaurant, and if it exceeds that, it is considered very generous. But the matter in Egypt evolves from the tourism sector, such as restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions, so you should honor the taxi driver to carry your bags, and the gas station operator.
