Hi there,
option no 2 is very good
I'd take option 4. Go somewhere else.
What the UK government site has to say about visiting Egypt:
"There is a high threat from terrorism. We believe that terrorists continue to plan attacks. Attacks could be indiscriminate and occur without prior warning. Attacks targeting foreigners can’t be ruled out. There is a threat of kidnapping, particularly in remote desert areas.
The Sinai-based Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis (ABM) has been involved in a number of suicide bombings, drive-by shootings and assassinations. In November 2014 ABM announced they had pledged allegiance to ISIL. On 16 February, ABM carried out a suicide attack on a tourist bus in Taba, South Sinai, close to the Israeli border at Eilat, killing 3 South Korean tourists, an Egyptian driver and injuring at least 14 others. The group has threatened further attacks against Egypt’s economic interests."

Thanks for the tips, I went to Egypt a few months ago (end of Oct 2014) and it was a great trip overall.
The best option would have been to take a bus from luxor to Hurghanda then fly from the Hurghanda airport to Sharm airport (way cheaper than flying from Cairo airport). Option 2 above would be second best choice, take the red eye bus to Dahab/red sea from Cairo. I met many expat divers, while I was diving at the Red Sea, and these were their suggestions.
Egypt was safe (sad to see how much the media exaggerates) and I traveled solo overall. If you really want to go, you'll find a way Research the travel sites to check for recent travel posts that proves travelers do go there (and went back home fine).
