TL;DR
Missing luggage at Hurghada airport typically arrives the next day. File a report at the airport, ask your hotel guide for help tracking it, but be prepared to pick it up yourself by taxi.
The missing bag arrived the next day — it turned out it was never loaded at the departure airport. The hotel guide helped by calling Hurghada airport to track it down. The traveler had to go to the airport themselves by taxi with all documents to collect it. Airport staff mentioned that 3–4 bags go missing daily, so it's a common occurrence.
Another traveler reported a missing bag on the same day — a claim was filed at the airport and they were waiting for news.
If checkout is much earlier than your airport transfer, ask the hotel reception to store your luggage indoors — don't leave bags in the sun outside the lobby.
If your bag doesn't arrive at Hurghada airport, file a PIR (Property Irregularity Report) immediately at the baggage claim area before leaving the airport — this is required for any compensation or tracing.
