TL;DR
In large Egyptian resorts, golf carts or internal shuttles often take guests around the property and to the beach. Hotels usually show routes and stops on the resort map, and you can often flag a cart down, but walking to the beach, pool, or water park may be inconvenient in spread-out resorts.
At some resorts, golf carts are reserved for staff, while guests are transported around the grounds by minibuses or scheduled shuttles. Check with reception which option is available to guests.
If walking around the grounds is difficult or inconvenient, you can ask a golf cart to take you to the point you need, rather than only using standard stops.
At resorts with second-line accommodation, golf carts may run to the beach, but service can be infrequent. Guests staying on the first line may use carts as well.
The newest tip is to check the hotel map first, as it usually shows the golf cart routes and designated stops. In many resorts, you do not have to wait only at a stop — you can often flag a cart down as it passes.
If your main plan is to reach the beach without walking, these resorts usually have internal carts for that. After check-in, ask reception how often the beach shuttle runs and where the nearest pickup point is.
In very large resort complexes, the grounds can be so spread out that you may depend heavily on golf carts or internal transport. Walking to the pool, restaurant, beach, or water park is not always practical whenever you want.
