How to get ice or cold drinks in your Egypt hotel room without a minibar?

TL;DR
Most Egyptian hotels don't have a working minibar, but you can ask the pool/lobby bar staff for a cup of ice to bring to your room, and keep drinks cold by leaving the mini-fridge door slightly open.

If your room has ice cube trays, you can fill them with water and freeze them yourself, though many guests don't bother.

You can go to the pool or lobby bar with your own cups and ask staff to fill them with ice — they usually agree without issue.

Life hack for cold drinks in the room: leave the mini-fridge or cabinet door slightly open, otherwise the air inside doesn't cool and drinks stay warm.

Based on experience, standard Egyptian resort hotels offer unlimited wifi and reliable hot water in the shower — unlike the Domina hotel chain, where internet is limited and hot water can take a long time to arrive.
