TL;DR

According to participants, there were mosquitoes in Hurghada in late August and early September 2026, while in early October a local resident reported not a single bite at home, outdoors or in cafés. The hotel where he works had no mosquitoes either and was not even spraying. Responding to complaints about one hotel, he said the issue was that particular hotel rather than Hurghada as a whole.

When travelers asked in early October 2026 about mosquitoes at a hotel they had read complaints about, a local resident replied that the issue seemed to be that particular hotel rather than Hurghada as a whole, since he had not noticed bites in the city. So conditions at one hotel do not necessarily reflect the whole resort, and the reverse is also true.
