TL;DR
Egypt hotel buffets typically offer apples, peaches, grapes, melon, watermelon, bananas, and oranges. Selection varies by season — more melons in summer, strawberries possible in spring.
In summer the buffet had melons, watermelons, peaches, apples, pears, and plums — but no strawberries at all.
The breakfast buffet sometimes has an unusual fruit that looks like a pear on the outside but has red flesh inside — possibly guava. Worth trying.
Fresh juices at breakfast are often diluted — strawberry juice mixed with apple juice, and fresh orange juice cut with packaged juice. Better to take whole fruits instead.
Hotel restaurants started offering very sweet mandarins (replacing oranges), plus figs and grapes. Peaches are always available but tend to be underripe — take them to your room and let them ripen for 1–2 days before eating.
In spring (March) the buffet included strawberries, melon, physalis, and a white pear-like fruit (name unknown), along with the usual selection.
About a week ago the breakfast buffet had apples, dates, melon, oranges, grapefruit, bananas, and peaches.
