TL;DR
Yes: if your stay is booked from 2 August, you should be able to check in immediately when arriving during the night of 3 August. If the booking starts on 4 August, standard check-in is usually after 14:00 on 4 August, so you need to pay for the night of 3–4 August to access a room overnight.
If the hotel stay begins on 2 August, a guest arriving after midnight on 3 August should be checked in straight away, as that night is already included in the paid stay.
The booking start date is not an overnight arrival date: a stay beginning on 4 August normally gives access to the room from 14:00 on 4 August, not during the night of 3–4 August.
To check in at a Sharm El Sheikh hotel during the night of 3–4 August, book and pay from 3 August. This will normally also cover hotel services that night, such as a late dinner and breakfast, subject to the package terms.
