Extra Expenses:
Be sure to consider the extra expenses that may come up while you are visiting Egypt. This may include extra meals, touring and sight-seeing, transportation for sight-seeing not included as part of the festival, tipping, costume shopping, photos or video of your performances, etc.
TIPPING Egypt is a tipping culture and is expected in just about every situation where a service was provided. We will pool tips for any collective group services (for example to our drivers, hotel staff, and guides). Typically, we collect about $20-$30 from each dancer after the festival and again after the tour. I would suggest at least $50-$100 for tipping.
