Are smoking rooms available in Sharm el Sheikh hotels, and can you smoke hookah on the balcony?

TL;DR
Most hotels ban smoking inside the room but usually allow it on a private balcony — policy varies by hotel, so confirm at check-in. Dedicated smoking rooms aren't available everywhere and should be requested in advance when booking.
What the community said
Not every resort has designated smoking rooms — if this matters, confirm with the hotel before arrival or through your booking agent rather than expecting one to be assigned on the spot.

Smoking hookah on the room balcony is usually tolerated even when indoor smoking is banned — but this depends on the specific hotel's policy, so it's best to ask at reception right at check-in.

In standard rooms the AC unit is sometimes positioned directly facing the bed, blowing air on guests while they sleep — if this is an issue, ask for a different room or check whether airflow direction can be adjusted.
