Are mosquitoes a problem at Egypt resorts and should you bring your own repellent/fumigator?

Before checking into a resort (including higher-category hotels like 'Grand' properties), travelers suggest packing a personal fumigator — the hotel's own room treatment isn't always enough.

Guests also worry that late evening check-ins get assigned worse rooms — by nightfall, typically the less desirable rooms are left, so it's worth confirming your room category in advance.

Along with mosquitoes, travelers ask about rotavirus and food safety at hotels — advice is to be cautious with street food and go easy on raw fruits/vegetables at buffets.

One guest reported that even with regular pest control on the property, mosquitoes were a serious problem during the last two days of the stay — tip: keep repellent on hand until departure rather than relying solely on the hotel's treatment.
