What the community said
Al Masria includes a small snack for all passengers: two mini sandwiches, water, juice, and tea or coffee. However, baggage allowance is strict — even carry-on luggage is weighed.

Air Cairo's meal service depends on the flight number. Flights starting with 9 reportedly include a hot meal, while those starting with 7 may not — or vice versa. Worth checking when booking.

On a Cairo-to-Sharm flight with Cairo Air, baggage allowance was generous and the meal was decent, though the flight was delayed by about 40 minutes. The return leg with Al Masria was notably worse — a dry sandwich, one soda, and paid instant coffee offered throughout.
