Are pests a problem in Egypt hotels, such as cockroaches in rooms or crows stealing food?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 12 days ago
TL;DR
Traveler reports suggest that some Egypt hotels do have pest issues: cockroaches may appear in rooms, sometimes across multiple rooms, and bold crows can steal food in outdoor areas. If this matters to you, check very recent hotel reviews and inspect the room on arrival.
What the community said
The newest report is about the hotel grounds rather than the room: a traveler described very bold crows that are not afraid of people and may grab food straight from your hand. This is most relevant in outdoor dining areas and by the pool.

There is also a stronger warning about insects: one traveler said she personally saw cockroaches in more than one room at the same hotel. That suggests the issue, when present, may affect multiple rooms rather than being a one-off case.

An earlier traveler question shows this is a real concern for guests: people specifically ask whether even a single cockroach has been seen, because for many travelers this is a deal-breaker after previous bad experiences with large roaches in hotels.
