How does all-inclusive dining work at Egyptian resorts (meal times, drinks included, food after checkout for late flights)?

TL;DR
At most Egyptian all-inclusive resorts there's only a short break between meal services, local alcohol is included until midnight, and food is available from 4am to midnight; if your flight is late, ask reception — many hotels still feed guests after checkout, though food quality and variety vary a lot by property.
One traveler complained that food at her hotel was bland and repetitive — basically just shrimp and soup — which made even her 12-year-old bored and eager to leave; the takeaway is to check food-specific reviews before booking, not just resort amenities.
For late flight departures, check with reception whether you can still eat after the official checkout time — most Egyptian hotels accommodate this and let guests eat while waiting for their transfer.
Meal service is usually not "ultra all-inclusive": there's only a short break between meal times, local (not imported) alcohol is served until midnight, and food is available from 4am to midnight — handy for early flights or late-night snacks.
