@Adam – lead by exampe and not judgmental words.

Everyone is welcome to Egypt- when they come and see our culture it may help them change their ways. If Egyptians want to worry about corruption they should ban satellite dishes or something- not further harm the economy by discouraging tourism.

Anyway…

The weather in late December will be anywhere between 12-18 usually at Sharm el Shiekh. If you want to leave the resort area you will need a VISA I’m 99% sure.

A bottle of Pepsi is generally 1 Egyptian Pound. Price of shots would vary from hotel to hotel, and is likely expensive, but likely what you’d expect to pay in London at a pricier club. As for meals it depends on/off resort, local/exotic food. Average ‘pricier’ off- resort meal should hit around 15-30 USD after conversion.

You cannot bring alcohol into the country, and alcohol that isn’t sold in bars on resort/in hotels are hard to find. Sharm is a tourist city so I don’t you should have too much of a problem. Drinking outside of liscenced establishments is absolutely forbidden as is punished harshly.

Try our tabouleh (tab-oo-lay), lamb, shawarma, warra 3′na3b (wah-ra ahn-aab, which is minced riced rolled in deliciously flavored grape leaves), taheena and sweet or meat fatireh. Try our mollakhaya (garlic grape leaf (to.die.for)) stew on rice. Try our petit four and baklawa (baklava) for desert. And do NOT leave with out trying our mango ice cream.

As for drinks- try our karkedeh, guava and mango juices. Turkish coffee.

And for people watching go to a local cafe and enjoy smoking an apple flavored shisha

Keep you belly dancing to hotel establishments, as well as the clubbing. Apart from these establishments everything else is pretty much underground, and the quality of those is ever evolving. You’d need to meet the locals, especiall in Alexandria and Cairo where there’s much more local nightlife entertainment type stuff, after having stayed a while to really experience the best of those scenes.

Having said that, there’s lots of good quality entertainment in hotels and what not that even the locals try out.

Egypt is a conservative country. So just always be respectful. I wouldn’t suggest trying to pick up local girls because if you offend the wrong crowd of males by doing so… well, good luck.

Please do try visiting the pyramids (bus or short flight to Cairo). I’d also suggest Luxor but that’s a ways off. But you can easily make an overnight stay at Cairo.

In Cairo you can visit the pyramids, Giza zoo, Pharonic village, Papyrus shop and the world famous Khan el Khalili ‘bazaar’/souk/market. It will also give you a much better look at Egyptian life then Sharm’s resort town.
