ok that is good all inclusive, but sure you will need get some souveniers and some gift for your return back. about some fun trips, that is the real cost here, depend in where u wanna make trips, as example if around Sharm like Safari trip or Ras muhamed or Canyon this not that much. 100 sterling pound is enough, but if you will go outside like Luxor or Cairo it is bit much.
if you need more details go ahead contact me back any moment and wish to give u the right answer which u need.

Well look, im an Egyptian and i was in Sharm a month ago. I'd suggest you dont buy anything from the minibar because a bottle of water would cost u around 7 pounds there. You can go to the nearest supermarket to your hotel and buy anything from there for regular prices.
Regular Prices (Approx.):
Cola Can: 1.75 L.E
Water Bottle(Large): 2 L.E
Juice(Small): 1.75 L.E
Chips(Small): 0.5-0.75 L.E
A taxi ride(depending on location):
Airport: 40 L.E
Downtown: 5-20 L.E
Beware: Some locals might charge more than the appropriate prices.

How long are you going for? Trips are cheap and most things are "3 for £1" £200 should see you fine for 6-8 trips

DEAR FRIEND , AS YOU KNOW THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE SICK AND TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FOREIGNERS , SO BE SURE TO KNOW HOW MUCH DOES AN EGYPTIAN PAY FOR THE SAME ARTICLE. FOR EXAMPLE A WATER BOTTLE IN SOME RESORTS IS 8 EGYPTIAN POUND WHILE IT IS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET FOR 1.25 TO 2.00 EGYPTIAN POUND. I WAS IN SHARM AND I PAID FOR IT 8.00 IN THE RESORT AND 1.25 IN A GROCERY SHOP AND 1.50 IN ANOTHER AND 1.75 IN ANOTHER AND 2.00 IN ANOTHER.
I DO NOT CARE ABOUT 0.75 DIFFERENCE IN POUND BUT IT IS A QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE.
MY SONS WENT PARA SAILING WITH THEIR COUSINS AND THEY GOT A GOOD PRICE BARGAINING. SORRY I DO NOT RECALL NOW. REGARDING YOUR QUESTION I ADVICE YOU TO HAVE A DAILY AMOUNT OF 150 TO 200 EGYPTIAN POUND AND A GBP IS WORTH MORE THAN 8 EGP NOT 3 EGP AS YOU SEE IN AN ANSWER.
PLEASE ALWAYS ASK OTHER TOURISTS AND ALSO MANY EGYPTIANS IN YOUR SURROUNDINGS , LIKE HOTEL WORKERS AND SHOP KEEPERS AND IT IS UP TO YOU TO GUESS IF THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
I WAS ASKED A 50 EGP FOR A ROAD TRIP AND I MANAGED WITH THIRTY. AND I HAD TO DO THE SAME ROAD TRIP AGAIN , SO I DECIDED TO DO IT BY MYSELF , WENT TO CATCH A CAR ON THE ROAD OUTSIDE THE RESORT AND I PAID 10 EGP.
ENJOY YOUR VISIT.
