What type of hotel room to book in Egypt when traveling with a child?

TL;DR

If traveling with a child, request a separate sleeping place: a Family room (2 rooms) for older kids/teens, or a standard room with an extra bed/crib for younger children, when booking through your tour operator.

What the community said

For a family with an 8-year-old needing a separate bed, a standard room with an extra bed is usually enough — a Family room isn't required.

Standard room + extra bed

For a teenager (16 y.o.) who needs a full separate bed, it's better to request a Family room from the start — it's spacious with separate beds.

Family room

For 2 adults with a 10-month-old baby, a 2-room family suite is needed; even if the tour operator's booking (e.g. Biblio-Globus) just lists it as "Family", guests are actually placed in this 2-room type.
