TL;DR
Yes, at busy Egypt resorts it's better to claim sunbeds early. Travelers report that around 7:30 there is still a reasonable choice, but by 9:30 after breakfast even finding 2 free loungers can be difficult unless the beach staff help.
There is also a contrasting report: some guests usually went to the beach or pool only after lunch, around 14:30, and felt they could still get sunbeds without reserving them early.
The latest advice is that if you come later, after breakfast, sunbeds can already be hard to find even if you do not need the front row. Free spots may still exist, but the choice is much smaller.
Guests reported that by 9:30, after breakfast, finding 2 free sunbeds was already very difficult. In one case, a beach attendant had to help locate available loungers.
If you want a decent selection, it is better to reserve sunbeds before breakfast. Around 7:30 there were still available loungers, though not in the first or second row, and guests could still choose a suitable spot.
