TL;DR
Based on traveler reports, some hotels in Egypt allow early check-in for free if a room is ready, and may let you have breakfast before the room is assigned. Breakfast boxes for very early departures are less reliable, so confirm again at reception before checkout.
For a hotel departure around 5:00 a.m., the promised breakfast was not actually waiting at reception. Practical tip: if you need a breakfast box before an early transfer, remind the staff the night before and confirm again at checkout.
In one case, travelers offered to pay for morning check-in, but the room offered was not good enough. They waited until about 12:30 and then received a good bungalow for free, so it can be better to wait rather than accept the first available room.
After arriving at a hotel at around 10:00 a.m., travelers were sent straight to breakfast and received their room afterward without any extra payment. This suggests that if the room is ready or occupancy is low, free early check-in in Egypt is possible.
