1. There are towels, bathrobes and slippers - no.
2. Special shoes are not needed, there the entrance to the sea is only in the pontoon immediately to the depth.
3. When checking in, $ 20 will not save the situation; they will settle as it is written in the voucher in the most distant buildings, from which it takes about 7 minutes to go to the sea.
4. Excursions can be bought both from the guide and on the street. If you eat from the Tez tour, then the guides will be professional with a special education.
5. Be sure to visit: Israel, Ras Mohamed Nature Reserve (by bus).

Thank you very much for the answers, we are going from Let's go with us. Is it better to go to Israel for 1 day or 2 days, will everything be done in 1 day?
Another question, what to go there, what outerwear to take? Thanks again for the replies!

Let's Go With Us is a reliable agency, but they are not operators. The tour will be performed by one of the operators. Check with the manager which operator will operate your tour or write the airline here. We will tell you the operator ourselves.

Only one-day excursions are offered to Israel from Egypt: departure at night, day there, arrival again at night. You will visit the most important sites: the Wailing Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the Old City, the Birthplace of Jesus, on the way back you can swim in the Dead Sea. You will not see only Tel Aviv and Bethlehem.

I support the agent from Bora Bora. I’ll add about excursions: it’s better to buy in the city - five to seven minutes walk from your hotel to the area 1001 nights, where you can buy masks ($ 5 with a snorkel), flippers ($ 7), a trip to Israel (75-85 USD). Prices are real. I was in this district in December 2014, and rested in your hotel in January 2014.
See my review: http://www.turpravda.ua/eg/sharm_el_sheyh/Sunrise_Select_Diamond_Beach_Resort-h19389-r102821.html
If you bargain cheaper - respect, but you should not give more (although they will ask ...).
In Israel, be sure to take jackets. In Jerusalem it can be 10-15 degrees and rain. We were in January 2012, then we got cold in sweaters. If something is not written - ask in addition. I will definitely answer.

Thank you, Adrenalin77, for the good funny review and photo, I hope no one steals anything from my plate))))))
I started collecting chumadan, jackets and warm clothes are already there. It's a very interesting feeling to get together from winter to summer... Have you ever been to Cairo? To the pyramids? And Luxor looks very tempting. And in Jerusalem, I want to buy everything for my relatives. And dive .. How much money to take for two?

Shoes are best sneakers. Sandals, shoes, etc. - it will be a total inconvenience. Everything is much more expensive for maintenance guides than for street guides, and everyone travels in the same bus with the same guide. Yes, and MOT is not a guarantee of the professionalism of this very guide. I remember a trip to Luxor - all the way we listened to the guide's unhappy love story, the meanness of his girlfriend, who exchanged him for a rich fiancé and social injustice :) I went in 2008, and he is still in front of my eyes with a microphone :) Pyramids, who went on other excursions (Luxor, Israel, Petra) do not favor. They say to go far, then go, the pyramids are empty and only a sea of souvenir merchants. Those. according to emotional impressions - the most meager excursion. It is interesting only in the museum, but there everyone is driven quickly, there are a lot of people, you have little time to see and hear.
Do not go to everything at once for the first visit, you will not have time to feel the sea :) Take a boat trip on a yacht to Tiran or Ras Mohammed. We liked the bus a little less, although later for comparison it is possible and necessary :)

By bus to Ras Mohammed is better in the warm season. When the wind is not very comfortable. There is swimming in the Lake of Desires - all in an open windy area. Yes, and the first stop at the sea, too, plus there is also a current.
And on the yacht in the fan - we got a lot of fun :) "The wind in the mug, and I spit" :))" The yacht was tossed up on the waves like that - a purely roller coaster. And if you get cold, you can comfortably settle in the covered wardroom on soft sofas :) Yes, for boat trips, even by a yacht, even by bus, be sure to take a beach towel - do not hand over yours in the evening, but take it to your room.

Have a nice rest :) A couple more notes to chumadan - don't drink tap water, don't even brush your teeth. This water is driven to the resort towns through pipes, it is stored in tanks, it blooms. Most are upset. In the first aid kit, be sure to have a set of poisoning and antipyretic (let it not be useful, than it will not be). For the first time, it is not known how you will react to the change of water and food. Sunscreen is a must even in winter! Looking forward to your impressions :)

If you want to go on an excursion to Israel, then consider the two-day Israel-Jordan option (you will visit Petra). I was there, I liked it. As for the pyramids and Cairo, I completely agree with orhideya21. Luxor is a cool excursion (from Sharm by plane). Expensive, of course, everything is possible. Have a great experience and rest.

In Israel, we carry not only one-day excursions, but also 2-day ones. There is a combined with Jordan.
I don’t know what guides you came across, but no one has yet complained about ours in Luxor, Cairo and Israel. Yes, for small excursions of an entertaining nature, our guides go not as professionally speaking Russian as the tour guides. But all historical excursions are professional guides (Israel is a separate issue, they all have people from the post-Soviet space working there, the question is how they master the "material").
On excursions, I dropped the info in a personal.

If we talk about Sharm itself, take a walk from the hotel to Mercato, 1001 nights is also not far from you. Worth a trip to Soho in the evening. Hollywood, in my opinion, has deteriorated, a bunch of animals have been removed, but cafes have been poked around.

I absolutely agree with the orchid that it is worth taking one walk by the sea. The most popular excursions that are bought here are a boat trip, quadrics and Israel. These are those who rest from 7 to 10 days. Do not overload the rest and do not put Israel in the end, this is a difficult excursion, after it you need to rest, so as not to blur the impressions of the rest.
On Ras Muhammad in winter it is less windy and there are fewer waves than on Tirana.

Oh, you forgot the quads :) There you will be in the sand from head to toe :) Be sure to wear a scarf for the face. Ask for a guide there, he will tie you up like a local :) The whole face will be safe, and sun glasses on your eyes :)
And do not get fooled by all sorts of submarines, ships with a transparent bottom, if you swim normally. Basically, money down the drain. In the mask you will see the same amount for free. They are suitable if with children and non-waterfowl :)
Orbittours correctly advises also Peter, but, in my opinion, if you go only for a week, then you can get "races" and not rest.

Of course, the rest should not be overloaded, although in my practice everything happened.
I had an active couple who went on 9 excursions for a 7-day vacation (one of them was Cairo-Alexandria for 2 days). To my objections that you will get tired a lot, they were swept away by their pressure and words - we do not know how to rest in another way. And the second couple (I always remember them with a smile - the sweetest people) were the parents of a large family (in the position of the planned 9th child by the way) they told me this - we know that we will not return here, so they asked me to make a schedule for 10 days: Israel + Jordan, Cairo, Luxor and the monastery of St. Catherine. It is only when they are pregnant with their next child that they can leave the family to their parents and try to see the world. So, according to them, they were in India. The schedule was tight, but they all attended.
Everyone has different circumstances, but my opinion is better not to overload the rest!

I would like to advise you more, because you are going to Egypt for the first time. Do not rush to part with money in trading shops in the early days, especially since your friends also gave you orders. Take a closer look and ask the price. bargain. Taxi too, find out at least approximate prices.

We once had a young lady in our company, who during a trip of 7 nights-8 days (two fell on arrival and departure) was on 6 excursions :)) Meteor :)
Here, from each post, a new place to visit is remembered :) St. Catherine's Monastery, a colored canyon, Mount Moses.
There is also the church of St. Paul, it seems (Orbittours, correct me, I forgot how completely correct, maybe Peter and Paul), there are still baths somewhere in the same place. But it takes a long time to get there. I would like to get in, but dumb now.

I don't know how to address the author of the question (Busyaka) ... Let's call you Busynka :) All the answers to your question are informative and informative. I think you made your own conclusions and made a schedule. Regarding excursions - feel free to contact Orbit / "always fresh breath " :) - adequate prices and normal service. You can even bargain :) Yes, Orbit? Sunrises are the basic hotels of the Annex. Theses and Joine are still being transported to your hotel. But the attitude of the tour operator in the hotel will not change. Annex is quite a solid company. They have charters from the air "Utair-Ukraine " - Boeing 737, tired, but quite acceptable for flights :) USD Bargaining can be bought for 3 - if you take not one but several. We brought all female relatives under the Christmas tree this year. I recommend warm things not in a suitcase, but for myself. And after arrival, remove and pack. Have a good rest.

orhideya21 there is the monastery of St. George, where the relics of St. Gregory are located)))) This is an excursion to the bath of Moses. A visa is required there and it is 100 km from Sharm. Unfortunately, we do not always recruit groups there, especially in winter, when the activity of thermal springs is reduced. You need to go there from April to October.
Adrenalin77 when you are in Egypt, you must bargain, even with me)))))
I don’t know why the owner of the company called the office Orbit))) I probably liked that it’s easy to remember. (although the EMA tours company, it is written on the website, we work as tour operators for the Arab market and Armenia, for the Russian or Ukrainian market, travel industry sharks will simply eat us up))))
Busyaka you have the old city at your side, you (very correctly advised) need to go there to ask the price, and then buy according to prices. It is obligatory to demand a discount, below the cost level, the goods will not be given away. Unfortunately, I don’t advise you to focus on the prices indicated here, because of the rise in the price of gasoline, prices have risen, albeit not by much, if scarves used to be given away by 4 (I’m talking about high-quality cashmere), now 5 it’s still necessary to try to bargain.
