Can you bring your own cup or thermos to all-inclusive bars in Sharm el-Sheikh?

If you’re drinking at the bar, especially in the evening, drinks are often served in glass; at the beach they may also use larger glass cups. But for takeaway, they usually switch to a paper cup because glass is officially not allowed outside the lobby.

Cold beer warms up quickly in the heat if you're not sitting in the lobby or room — a thermos cup would actually come in handy.

Both spirits and beer are served in paper cups at the bars. You can take a glass from your room and ask staff to pour into it — they'll likely agree. Free alcohol is available from noon.

Bringing a thermos cup is worth considering since bars use paper cups that don't hold temperature well in the heat.
