Greetings
Now they can write you something like "You need to rest in those hotels where they don't steal and that's it." It is unlikely that such answers will help.
From the experience of numerous tourists with whom I work, I can say that unpleasant incidents with the loss of things from the safe happen in any hotels in Egypt (the probability of this in "cool" hotels is indeed lower than in "threes", but still not equal to zero).
Just like that, a simple cleaner is unlikely to be able to open a safe with a code. But:
1) those who have ever forgotten the code from a safe in Egypt know that the master easily resets this code
2) a combination of 4 numbers means that there are only 10,000 options. It just seems like a lot at first glance. My personal experience of selecting a code for a lock in a suitcase shows that it will take a maximum of half an hour to select a code from 4 digits.
The probability of missing something from the safe is small, but it's easier to play it safe...
Recommendation from personal experience: buy a small padlock with a key and lock the most valuable thing in a suitcase.
Have a good rest

I’ll add to the previous post: it’s better to fasten the lock not only to the runners, but also to fix it to something (to attach a handle, for example).
if there are two “dogs” on the zipper, linked by a lock, it is very easy to open the zipper with an ordinary ballpoint pen. closing the suitcase later is also easy - having passed the "dogs" from end to end. (you can see how they do it on youtube)

For three trips to Sharm, I didn’t lose anything. Documents and money lay. I left the tablet a couple of times, and then threw it in the room. Somehow it passed. hotel is unlikely. From the contents of the safes you will not get rich. Nobody will risk their work and freedom.

The Blue Bay hotel is not cheap, so take it easy. The last two times I've been to Blue Bay.

I have been going to Sharm since 2006, sometimes twice a year. Was in different from triples to expensive. Nothing has ever gone missing. There were cases when people complained about the loss, but most often people themselves are to blame: they stupidly forget to close the safe or forget a thing in the room, they may not understand how the safe works, they covered it and went to themselves in the hope that it is closed It is very unlikely that the servants will steal from a closed safe, and even more so in the case when the safe was opened in front of you due to a breakdown or you forgot the code. We never hide watches, phones, cameras. We hide money and passports in the safe, the wife is jewelry. Here I am surprised at these stories about theft, especially money from a safe

If you are so afraid, then after they show you how the safe works and enter the trial code, recode it with your code. the cleaner won't do the hacking

By the way, the option with a lock on the suitcase is just as good.

Recommend putting up a "do not disturb" flyer. That's exactly what we do. We take water. The cleaners don't come. For 6 times in Egypt they took cigarettes without asking and once they opened the safe. If they stole it, then no more than 5 dollars. There was a trifle and I did not count how much. I come to the room in the evening, the safe door is open and my code is reset. Nothing else is missing.

igor-11 at the reception reported what happened? This cannot be left without disassembly. I've never had anything like that. Are you sure you didn't forget to close the safe yourself? Perhaps it was the last day and check out at 2:00 pm, and you stayed until the evening, and then, perhaps, the servants opened the safe forcibly, believing that you simply forgot to free it.

We rested in Faraana Reef. Nothing is missing. Phones were left on the bed a couple of times. Hryvnias were lying on the table. They didn't touch anything.

Just on the last trip, we felt this moment, on the first day the staff entered a trial code, I changed it, but forgot to warn my wife - I ran to the beach for reconnaissance, and when I returned I found a locked safe. So that we had to wait for the next day, when a special person with the keys would come and open the safe, it's just that the keys are not lying around at the reception.

I heard stories about theft from the safe, especially about the last day. But thank God I didn’t come across it, we usually keep money in the safe (amounts up to 500 USD, the rest is on the map), documents, and smartphones (when we go to the beach), photo equipment in a suitcase under a lock, and the laptop stood on the bedside table for 12 days. I don’t know - there are tourists who carry everything of value with them, but as for me, this is more unsafe than leaving it in a safe.
