If you're flying directly to Sharm be aware that you need 2 stickers in your passport if you want to leave the area and travel through mainland Egypt.
When you go to Sharm do not book your tours through your hotel operator because you will get ripped off. Take some time and go directly to the Sun Fun office (located near one of the Hiltons in town) and book there. The costs are nearly half of what is charged in hotels.
If you're a first time traveller to Paris, I highly recommend this waling tours company. The "classic walk" is a great tour for beginners. It'll take you to all the major sites giving you an idea of what you'd like to see in more detail later.
Most tours are 4 hrs long and cost about 20 euros. Tour guides are young and full of interesting tid-bits. The office itself is a great source of English language info plus there's free internet.
