If you are just staying in Sharm you do not need one just an entry permission stamp.
For diving Ras Mo you will need one £10 at the airport.

You will all need a visa on arrival so if it isn't included in your package don't forget the correct cash to pay for it in the airport on arrival.

From the Egyptian Embassy website:-
UK and EU nationals travelling to Sharm El Sheikh, Dahab, Nuweiba and Taba resorts ONLY, for a maximum of 14 DAYS, do not require a visa prior to travelling as a free entry permission stamp will be granted upon arrival.
If you intend to travel outside of the above mentioned areas you MUST obtain a Visa.
So you need one as Ras Mohammed is outside of the Sharm area but the family don't if they are staying in Sharm.

good news, visas were only 10 quid 2 weeks ago. They must be feeling sorry for us and our poor wallets

OUCH - three weeks back they were still fifteen in Sharm...

fifteen Pounds, fifteen US Dollars or fifteen Euros (they then messed around with the change).

I did suggest fifteen Turkish Lire, but they weren't having it.
