I guess it's like eveywhere in Egypt: 220 volts.
There is small difficulty with the plugs: It's not the traditional European
ones. In most hotels, it's only two pins (no earth), and the diameter of the
pins is slightly smaller than the usual European 10 amps. It makes the
introduction of the plug difficult, sometimes impossible without an adaptor.
I also saw some UK type sockets, but it's not common.

Thanks. I'll look up an adaptor in the airport on the way out there.

There are a couple of supermarkets in Dahab I bought a plug there for about
50p (the one next to Toto's Bar)
