Funny you mention the fake pyramids. I was dragged off by my girlfriend to see some show which involved people riding horses around mini-pyramids and sphinx, etc. This was somewhere in the Intercontinental/Magawash area.
Although I found it to be totally lame, the package tourists we were with were lapping it up.
Different strokes for different folks.
If we compare resorts to cars, I'd equate El Gouna to a Mercedes and Sahl Hasheesh to a BMW. Personally I prefer BMWs to Mercedes, but I know that they are all good cars.
To continue the analogy, the Al-Ahyaa/El Noor/Road to El Gouna region I'd compare to a Toyota Yaris or something. It certainly doesn't have the prestige of the other resorts, but it's decent value for what you're getting.
There are markets for all these resorts.
