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.
Arriving in Sharm El Sheikh at 1:50am, check-in took about 30 minutes.
Arriving in Cairo at 3am, check-in took roughly 40 minutes.
In Hurghada, despite having a paid night included in the tour package, one traveler had to wait until midday for check-in — unlike her experience in other Egyptian cities.
Overnight check-in delays aren't unique to Egypt: arriving in Dubai at 6am also meant waiting until noon for a room.
