I met an Egyptian man ( tour guide ) while I was on vacation alone. He was very charming but the entire time he was telling me how much other tourists tip him ( like $ 100.00 a day ) also he tell me that his mother had surgery , and how much his time is worth he just don't take any tourist at that time I should of told him to go home and get me another guide I was too shy
because I was by myself.

All in all I tip him fourteen hundred dollars for 12 days which two day I was by myself, I have learned my lesson the tour guide / Egyptian man see you as a ATM machine. I would introduce him to more business, He was too greedy for money he already made money for hotel and cruise booking.
Any ladies, be careful don;t be shy to say NO.
