Clothing 

During the daytime, while enjoying the tours, wear lightweight clothes, due to the extreme heat. It is recomended that you cover your shoulders and that shorts or skirts come down to the knees. This shows respect for the local customs and protects from you from the blistering Egyptian the sun. The same rules apply in European places of worship. While relaxing on board it is much less formal in shorts, t-shirts and swimming costumes, if you wish. Breakfast and lunch can be taken dressed like this, but for dinner, smarter clothes are the norm. 

Extras 

All extras such as bar tabs, laundry, and spa visits, should be settled on the last day of your cruise at checkout time. Payment can be made with credit card or cash. We recommend visiting a bank, to change your money, before cruising, as most of the cruise boats do not offer this facility.

Tipping

Can be in dollars, euro or Egyptian pounds. Use notes as coins are useless. Fold the tip in the palm of your hand. Quietly pass it in a handshake while expressing your thanks. Some Egyptians consider it good manners to quietly decline the tip once or twice. So it is considered good manners on your part to insist.
