Went last summer and quite enjoyed it. Couple of things though. Make sure your hotel has a pool, the temperature was 47 degrees most days when I was there last July and bring plenty of sunscreen.

If you're into diving and snorkelling then its absolutely fantastic and there's always beginner classes if you've never done it before.

I stayed in the 5* Hyatt Regency and it was quite special. Though from some of the hotels I seen you wouldn't want to stay in any hotel below 4*. Snobby I know but true.

Going out, life in Sharm El Sheikh revolves entirely around money. Tip your room cleaners and you'll find extra perks around your room the next day. More water bottles etc. In Naama bay (if you go which I assume you will) you will get harassed non stop for money. The shop owners can get quite annoying when pestering so just be prepared for this (They mistook our party for Russian and automatically thought we were all minted).

Got a couple of Casinos if you interested in that. I went in a desert quad biking trip and it was amazing, driving through the desert and stopping off in bedouin (sp) camps for dinner and shisha pipes (if you're into that). I would fully recommend it, met a blue out there aswell.

Any more info at all needed just pm me.
 
Dont bother mate, i went last year apart from the diving,i thought it was a dirty shit hole of a place where you cant get a decent scran anywhere.
 
went couple of years ago our hotel was brilliant as most of them do look good ,snorkelling was amazing weather u cant beat it,BUT go out and about the mither you to fck and it is very dirty on the streets we seen dead cats every where and when we went to the pyramids there was even a dead horse in the river
 
the diving and snorkelling are top notch. apart from that its kak. there are not many beaches and the city itself is soulless
