TL;DR
Yes, at all-inclusive hotels you can ask reception for a packed lunch instead of breakfast or dinner if you're going on an excursion — staff and tour guides aren't allowed to refuse. Exceptions exist though: in the Ramla bay area, one hotel still doesn't offer this despite all others in the bay doing so.
The festive gala dinner at Egyptian all-inclusive resorts usually turns out to be just a regular à la carte dinner dressed up — not really worth the hype, but you can't skip it since it replaces your standard dinner slot.
Despite being all-inclusive, one hotel in the Ramla bay area still doesn't invite guests to breakfast before an excursion — the only hotel in that bay with this issue.
Reception staff and tour guides at Egyptian hotels aren't directly in charge of meals — under all-inclusive rules, guests have the right to request a packed lunch instead of breakfast or dinner when heading out on an excursion. Staff at hotels in the Ramla area are usually helpful and hand it over without issue.
