TL;DR
Mosquitoes exist in Egypt in summer but are tiny and nearly silent. They're active near grass and hotel rooms, but open-air venues with a breeze are usually mosquito-free.
Mosquitoes can appear near hotel room entrances even on windy evenings. Open-air shows and event areas tend to be mosquito-free, but expect them around your room door.
Mosquitoes are present in Egypt in summer. Several were found in hotel rooms upon late-night check-in. They're active near grass in the evenings, but are very small — about three times smaller than typical European mosquitoes — and nearly silent.
An evening walk in light summer clothing passed without a single mosquito bite or sighting. Presence may vary by location and time of night.
