TL;DR
A 14-night all-inclusive stay for two in Sharm El Sheikh runs roughly $1,600-2,000 at a 5-star hotel with pools and a sandy beach; the air is drier than on Turkey's coast, though food and facilities are usually a notch below the best Turkish resorts.
Travelers note that in Egypt you almost always trade off something: it's hard to get great service, good sea access, entertainment, nearby infrastructure and a low hotel price all at once.
A couple returned from an adults-only (16+) hotel in Sharm El Sheikh after paying $200 per person for a 2-week all-inclusive stay. They noted the dry, light air (unlike the humid heat on Turkey's Anatolian coast at the same temperature) and a spacious beach.
For $1,600 per couple for 14 nights you can get a 5-star hotel in Naama Bay with several pools, a water park, a sports pool, a sandy beach and a 32 sqm room. The food is a step below top Turkish resorts (no crab or fresh juice), but the price is lower too; travelers say the scenery in Egypt loses out to Turkey.
