Do Egypt all-inclusive hotels celebrate birthdays and how to get a complimentary cake or gift?

The birthday cake is either brought to your room or served at dinner in the restaurant, depending on the hotel. You must tell reception in advance and remind them once or twice on the actual day, otherwise staff may forget.

Ask reception in advance whether your hotel offers a birthday complimentary gift — it's not always automatic and usually needs to be requested by the guest.

If the birthday falls in the first days of the trip, you'll have time to see how the hotel typically celebrates guests, and decide with your child whether they want a public celebration or a quiet one in the room.
