When do hotels in Egypt put on and cut off all-inclusive wristbands (check-in/check-out)?

For late checkout, staff usually cut the wristband right before the airport transfer, not at the official checkout time — guests can keep using the hotel until then.

Without a wristband (e.g., on arrival day before check-in) you can use almost all hotel facilities — pools, beach, restaurants — except entering your room, which requires the official check-in.

The wristband is put on right after arrival at the hotel and stays on until departure day — guests are expected to wear it continuously throughout the stay.
