TL;DR
Most hotels in Egypt usually provide basic toiletries such as soap, shampoo, and shower gel. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, and conditioner are often missing or only standard in 4–5 star hotels, so it’s safer to bring them or buy them locally.

In typical resort hotels in Egypt, you’ll usually get soap, shampoo, and shower gel, but not a full premium amenity set like in international city 5-star hotels. Toothbrushes and toothpaste are usually not part of the standard room setup.

If you care about product quality or prefer your usual brand, it’s better to bring your own. Hotel toiletries in Egypt are often very basic, supplied in small bottles or dispensers, and hair conditioner is often missing.

In 4–5 star hotels, you’re more likely to get a fuller amenity set, but even there a toothbrush and toothpaste may only be available on request from reception. It’s smart to carry at least a basic set for the first night.

If you don’t want to pack everything, a practical compromise is to bring only a toothbrush, toothpaste, and your preferred conditioner, while using the hotel’s soap and shampoo. That’s the most common approach for trips to Egypt.

If something is missing from your room, it’s usually easy to buy it in tourist areas and pharmacies. In Egypt, basic toiletries are widely available in mini-markets and pharmacy chains such as El Ezaby and Seif Pharmacy.
