Tipping in Iraq
Customary: 10%. Not expected. Round up where there is table service.
At restaurants
What is customary: Not expected — welcome, but nobody is counting
Worked example
On a IQD50,000 bill, 10% is IQD5,000, so you would hand over IQD55,000.
Tour guides
On a “free” walking tour, the tip is the fare: about IQD5,000 per person.
On a paid tour, 10% of the price on top.
Expected on guided trips, and guiding here usually includes a driver who is tipped too.
The money
Iraq uses the Iraqi Dinar (IQD). Today 1 GBP is 1,775.18 IQD.
Tipping in other countries
Customs vary by region, by venue and over time. Use your judgement and your eyes.
