Which Sharm El Sheikh all-inclusive resorts have the best evening entertainment and animation?

At one of the Reef Oasis resorts (with its own reef), animators run daytime games, followed by a big evening show, and then about half an hour of animator dancing with guests after the show. Over two weeks of observation, no evening show repeated, and there was also one beach party.

Comparing two Reef Oasis resorts: animation at Reef Oasis Blue Beach (ROBB) is more lively than at Reef Oasis Beach (ROB). Russian-language evening animation is seen by many as weak (though some enjoy it). Live music with dancing happens every evening at the main bar.

At the same resort, evening animation runs until 22:30, after which a disco starts at 23:00 near the fish restaurant/bar (free entry until midnight). Recently Friday discos became paid ($10), including a foam party and oriental dance program. Live music also plays in the lobby bar every evening.

Sunrise resort regularly hosts concerts with guest stars in its own club, with free shuttle buses for guests. Twice a week they run trips to the White Hills festival — a big pedestrian street with costumed characters, fire shows, acrobats and stilt walkers, plus a large concert stage in the evening. Perks include canned drinks and imported alcohol in cocktails instead of local spirits.

Rixos (18+ concept) stands out for evening entertainment: at sunset there's a DJ disco by the beach bar, and in the evening a full costumed show with fireworks followed by another DJ set. Swimming is better after lunch since the reef shades the water wall in the morning; 2-3 hours in the sea per day is enough. Nearby, you can visit Sea Gate resort where the lagoon is always swimmable and there are bars to check out.
