TL;DR

In Sharm El Sheikh and Cairo hotels typically check guests in within 30-40 minutes of a night arrival if the night is paid for. In Hurghada some travelers report waiting until noon for check-in despite having paid for the night.

What the community said

Ask the tour operator about early check-in in advance: it is usually charged separately, and a room may not be available if arranged only on arrival.
