How many nights do you need to book to get à la carte restaurant access at Sharm El Sheikh all-inclusive resorts?
Based on 2 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 14 days ago
TL;DR
At many Sharm El Sheikh all-inclusive hotels, à la carte restaurant access requires booking at least 7 nights — with only 6 nights, hotels typically refuse even after direct requests to the agent. Also note that Egyptian package tours are counted in nights, not days, so a late-night arrival still counts as a full night.
What the community said
A traveler booked 6 nights and could not get à la carte restaurant access because the hotel requires a minimum 7-night stay. Negotiating with the hotel for even one visit was unsuccessful.

When disputes arise about check-in or meals, confirm the terms directly with your travel agency — one traveler reported her agent confirmed that a fully paid package includes both room check-in and late dinner, even if hotel staff say otherwise.

A key detail when booking Egypt package tours: they are counted in nights, not days — for example, a '7-night' package may span only 6 calendar travel days, but is sold and charged as 7 nights of accommodation.
