In general, going on vacation and receiving world-class service deserves proper tipping. This article is part of <a href=\"https:\/\/aminonmiles.com\/fr\/guides\/how-to-plan-your-perfect-dubai-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Plan Your Perfect Dubai Trip Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no set rules for tipping in Dubai. In other words, as most restaurants add taxes and service charges, tipping is not compulsory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, I find that the service level in Dubai is top-notch. Therefore, I will always tip the person that provides the service. Above all, I make sure the tip goes straight to that person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe scrolling=\"no\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"padding:0px;         margin:0px; border:0px;border-style:none;border-style:none;\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/api.fintelconnect.com\/t\/banner\/5e0bf67419a1e3001ae2459e\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"32-gas-station-attendant\">Gas Station Attendant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gas station attendants are the most neglected when it comes to tips. To clarify, they work outside in very hot and humid conditions. In my past trips to Dubai, I would always leave a minimum of AED5 (C$1.75).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15AED in tips per day can go a long way for them. They can easily cover a full meal at the end of of their work day. So keep these workers in mind and be generous with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"33-housekeeping-staff\">Housekeeping Staff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I usually leave the equivalent of C$5 (AED15) per day of stay or a one-time C$10-C$15 (AED30-40) amount along with a thank you note. The housekeeping ladies and gents work hard. It is particularly true in COVID-19 times. They will thank you for it and take extra care in the grooming of your room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"34-taxi-driver\">Taxi Driver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Either round up the fare amount to nearest note or give an extra AED5-10. Taxi and Uber rides in Dubai are cheap so be generous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dubai taxis (RTA) accept card payments. You can ask the driver to add the desired amount on the payment machine. It&#8217;s that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"35-valet-amp-bellboy\">Valet &amp; Bellboy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most guest give a AED5 bill to the valet and bellboy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That can go up as your luggage count goes higher and heavier. But if you don&#8217;t have change, than it&#8217;s not an issue. What I usually do &#8211; once I have change &#8211; is find the valet\/bellboy and give them the tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"36-waitstaff\">Waitstaff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This one&#8217;s straight forward. You can leave an additional 10% to 15% of total bill. I make sure I address the waiter\/waitress, thank them for their service and hand them the tip while I tell them &#8220;this is for you&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Delivery Drivers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Delivery drivers do a dangerous job. In a city where most cars are big SUVs, these motocycle drivers rush to get your food or parcel delivered on time. That&#8217;s on top of the scortching heat they have to live with while wearing their protective gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tip them big! I do not hesitate to give them 20AED. When that happens, it makes me happy to see a smile on their face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe scrolling=\"no\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"padding:0px;         margin:0px; border:0px;border-style:none;border-style:none;\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/api.fintelconnect.com\/t\/banner\/5e0bf67419a1e3001ae2459e\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dubai offers you a great experience in terms of quality of service. So be generous. Be kind to the workers who work hard in front and behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have questions about this matter, write them in the comments section or on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/268181157103533\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amin On Miles Club<\/a>.
