Two police officials said the 42-year-old man died immediately from gunshot wounds to the stomach and thigh.
They said the gunmen began shooting after police arrived on the scene and tried to stop them from robbing the money exchange. A German tourist and two Egyptians were also wounded, the officials said.
Security services later arrested three suspects. All three of the men were wounded in a shootout with the security forces, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to brief the media.
Sharm El-Sheikh, 400 kilometers (250 miles) southeast of Cairo, is a popular tourist destination.
