Egypt Tipping

[Huffy]

Hi, I'v read some reponses regarding what currency to "tip in" whilst in Egypt. Can anyone help me with more up to date information. I am lothed to take American dollars to Egypt just to tip people.
Any Advise?

Well Egyptians would obviously like to be tipped in Egyptian pounds as we would expect to be tipped in English pounds in this country. Yes they will accept english pounds but then they have to hassle other tourists to try to sell them to them!
