HERE R THE ANSWERS:
ANS 1 : Buy little satellite receiver "nearly 300-400 L.E" and install the HOTBIRD satellite channels ,For more English channels subscribe to ShowTime or ART packets.

ANS 2 : If u have landline at home subscrib to ADSL service from TE-DATA and its prices ranged for the internet packet "250 kp/s-500 kp/s-1 mega/s till 24 mega/s" not too much, if u dont have landline phone at home u will find ppl"internet cafe-internet services" at sharm having wirless internet and u can subscribe to it and pay per month , if u can HACK wirless network ur not going to pay any :P ,there also USB Modem which is provided by "Etisalat-Mobinil-Vodafone" The master cellphone carriers at Egypt.

ANS 3 : There are many places to Shop at Sharm but u should pick the cheapest not to lose money for useless things there, go to Khalig Neama there r too many shops there , anyway dont worry about shopping its too easy more than u would think, just ask for prices before u buy at many shops n u will find differences prices for the same item .

ANS 4 : Also u going to find gyms besides shopping places so no worry about any thing.

Hi I have an apartment in Nabq and i use the Metro as it is well stocked. Use the local fruit and veg shops as you can get some bargains - 2le for kilo strawberries. Old Market is cheaper than Naama Bay and the cheapest for household would be Rowaysat.

I have Showtime which has BBC Primetime which shows Eastenders, disney channel and Showtime sports which show all the premier footie matches along with golf, cricket, snooker, rugby etc etc.

Viva Mall on Peace road just going out of Naama has a new gym.
