Do you tip Uber in Cairo?

It is kind to tip taxi/Uber drivers 10-20% for good service. It is not expected. Try to tip and pay Uber drivers in cash (EGP) if possible, because Uber withholds their income and only pays out twice per month, making it difficult for them to budget and plan on expenses if something happens with their vehicle.
