What is the food like at all-inclusive hotels in Egypt?

Queues vary by meal: breakfast has none, lunch has short ones, but dinner requires waiting — especially at live-cooking stations serving meat and pasta.

Some guests report stomach problems even when eating cautiously — sticking to soups, simple grilled dishes, and avoiding salads and iced drinks. This was enough to put some guests off returning.

Breakfasts are generally well-regarded: there's always a soup station, pastries, Nutella, a wide fruit selection, and meat. Fish is less common, and seafood appears mainly in local dumpling-style dishes — not typically served at breakfast.

The food overall can be underwhelming — even guests who aren't picky sometimes find nothing appetising. This is a common complaint about Egyptian all-inclusive hotels.

Lunch and dinner typically feature up to 5 types of meat. With some effort, it's possible to put together a balanced diet from what's available. Breakfast always includes fried eggs and pancakes, though queues at hot stations can be long — some guests opt for boiled eggs to skip the wait.
