TL;DR
All-inclusive buffets in Egyptian hotels typically offer fish, chicken, beef, pasta, pizza, fresh fruits and vegetables. The selection is consistent and changes little over time.
Recent reports say seafood is now available every day, and lightly salted red fish is offered not just in the evening but also at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Guests also note that red fish appears often at dinner, with no significant queues early or late in service.
A recent lunch report describes a broader selection: besides chicken, beef, and fish, duck was also served. Mentioned fruits were apples, bananas, grapes, melon, peaches, and oranges. The guest also specifically noted that ice cream was available, and drinks could either be brought by staff or picked up yourself.
Beach bars serve cocktails and beer; indoor bars offer spirits, wine and cocktails. Ice cream is not included. Seafood-wise, fish is always available, battered squid appears occasionally, crabs are tiny and barely worth eating, no shrimp. Fruits include apples, oranges, bananas, grapes, dates, nectarines, melon and watermelon. Both cooked and fresh vegetables with greens are available.
The buffet menu has barely changed since July 2025. There are themed food stations: Japanese, Korean, Italian and Indian. Fish, chicken and beef are always present; squid and shrimp appear every other day. Cold cuts, cheeses and deli meats are available. Breakfast includes porridge, omelettes and eggs. Variety is sufficient for about 3–4 days without repeating dishes.
At the Sunset restaurant (premium guests), red fish is not served at breakfast. Summer fruit selection includes peaches (slightly underripe), pears, apples, tangerines, plums, yellow cherry plums, bananas, grapes, sliced oranges and melons. Food is mild and European-style — heavy on pasta and pizza, as the hotel caters mainly to Italian tourists. No changes compared to September 2025.
