Sinai general info

Passports: Valid 4 months ahead.

Border taxes: $80 per person  charged upon departure in cash.

Tipping:  Tips are paid over the duration of the tour by the clients. Unlike in Western countries, tipping is more of a requirement than an option, but clients should tip wisely; we suggest not going over $10 per person a day you may ask again for our advice. Tips may be given in Egyptian currency, dollars, Euro or Israeli Shekels and they are shared between the guide and drivers on tours, or among the Bedouin handlers on camel tours. Generally the whole tip is given to the tour leader (guide) and he then shares it among the tour staff. As for staff at hotels, camps and restaurants, tipping is at client discretion, it’s entirely optional in these places.
