TL;DR
At some Egypt resorts, wristbands are not always given at check-in and guests may need to ask for them at reception. Travelers report that going without one can be fine for a while, but staff may ask for it at the main entrance or during checks, so it’s safer to get it sorted early.
In one recent case, guests were sent to their room without any wristbands and had to go back and ask for them afterward. If you don’t get one at check-in, it’s best to ask reception right away.
Some travelers said they stopped wearing their wristbands on the first day and were only asked about them once at the main entrance during the whole stay. After explaining to staff that they preferred not to wear them, they had no further issues.
Check-in mix-ups do happen: one group said the hotel forgot their wristbands, gave only one room key for two people, and had run out of towel cards. It’s a good idea to check wristbands, key cards, and towel cards immediately after getting your room.
