Is the in-room minibar/fridge free at Egyptian all-inclusive hotels, and how often is it refilled?

TL;DR
Most hotels stock the room fridge only once at check-in; after that refills are either paid or arranged informally with housekeeping for $2-3. Some hotels have removed fridges entirely or locked them due to overuse.
What the community said
Some hotels started locking the room fridges, with staff monitoring who took drinks and how much. Later the fridges were removed from rooms altogether.

To get the fridge restocked or a kettle brought to the room, tip the cleaner around $2-3. A kettle might cost extra - best to check with reception.

Standard practice is that the room fridge is stocked once at check-in, and further refills are not included in the free hotel service.
