TL;DR
Egyptian hotel rooms can have pilled bedding and awkwardly placed AC units. Check the bed on arrival and request a change if needed.
The AC unit may be positioned awkwardly — for example, mounted to the side of the bed near the foot end, blowing air into the gap between the bed and nightstands rather than toward the sleeping area.
In standard rooms, an extra bed is typically a folding cot — confirm this with the hotel at check-in or when booking.
Hotel bedding in Egypt can be heavily pilled, creating an uncomfortable texture that feels like crumbs under you. It's worth inspecting the bed immediately at check-in and asking for a linen change if the quality is poor.
