I think it might be a bit too cold in November like you might not be able to swim in the sea, there's a strip of hotels on the beach which are all really good, I remember there's a hitlon but I forgot what the strip was called, the snorkelling there was amazing!

great place, you have to go all inclusive otherwise you'll spend all your time fighting off the locals for your cash, don't pay face value for anything as they are very good at haggling infact I think you can get practically anything for half of what the asking price is. There is a lot of snide stuff knocking about too so be careful buying anything. Never been in November but this may help http://www.holiday-weather.com/sharm_el_sheikh/averages/november/
Think when I went a couple of years ago we stayed at the Royal Grand in Sharm El Sheikh. Weathers great if anything it gets to hot, if your at a hotel that's all inclusive then you can hang around the pool drinking all day, plus at the hotel I was at the food was great and they dishes from all over the world, you can pretty much each through the day. So I would recommend going all inclusive and I went in June so I wouldn't know what the weather is like then but I assume its no where near the high 40 odd/50 degrees Celsius it was when I was there.
If your going with the missus and she's decent then prepare for her to get pested, I got offered like 10,000 camels for my ex on more than a few occasions, in hindsight I should of took the camels and scarpered.
The trips are something that you must do, we went snorkeling along the coral reefs, the seas are clear as anything so you see everything, all sorts of fish, sting rays and eels. We even seen dolphins jumping around on the boat trips. We also we further up the red sea, went that far up we could see Israel from across the see although it was a bit of a pointless trip. Be sure whatever you do to arrange the trips from the reps inside the hotel these are the safest trips, the hotel wouldn't let them work inside otherwise.
Outside the hotel and trips I thought it as a little bit dodgy, just like the people, and although it never happened to me you have to watch out for pickpockets, generally kids doing the dirty work. There is a market that everyone goes to as well, its like a strip of shops, you'll either enjoy it or hate it. We were lucky and found the best places, there's a pretty posh bar although the drinks were bloody steep and we didn't find out till we bought them, there was also a Hard Rock Cafe we stumbled upon and we were even luckier when we found an Irish Bar there. Beer was good, people were normal, trust me the over-friendlyness starts getting to you after two weeks. I went during the last world cup, so the Irish bar was great for the beer and football, but the hotel had tv's as well.

This is what my daughter thought of her holiday there.
I went to Sharm el Sheikh to celebrate my sisters 21st birthday and it was FANTASTIC. We stayed in the Hilton Hotel for two weeks and went all inclusive. Nama Bay is an experience! The shops are great but you must haggle. The night life and local restaurants are lovely and i ate some of the nicest food while over there. [The chinese in the shopping centre is amazaming] There is also a resturant which is outside and you sit on a floating decking area out in the sea with lights under the water so you can see all the fish.
The Hilton was a 5 minute walk into Nama Bay, we also had access to the sister holtel which was across the road where there was a provate beach. The Marriett hotel is further out of town and about a 20 minute walk into Naama Bay. There are loads of hotels in the centre of Namma Bay but you should bare in mind that it is very noisy.
A boat ride and snorkerling are a must while you are out there. There is also a water park behind the Hilton Hotel which was great and a laugh :)
We went Sept and temps were 40-50 degrees but in November it is meant to be around the 25-35 mark! Nice and hot so enjoy!
While i am writing all of this i am now gutted i aint going back this year :(
