When traveling to Hurghada Airport near the Red Sea in Egypt, you have two main transport options to choose from to reach your hotel in the center. Local Hurghada Airport taxis offer a convenient and fast ride from Hurghada Airport to your Hurghada hotel for an affordable price. Other than a private transfer, this is the only door-to-door option and takes around 20 minutes in normal traffic.
For a more reliable and personalized transfer, you can pre-book a private Madinah Airport transfer and be met on arrival. This way you won’t need to haggle a price with the driver and can be on your way as soon as possible.
*If you want to travel from Hurghada Airport to the city center by bus, several private companies offer a shared minibus service to the city center and further along to the resort and beachside areas. Keep in mind that you will need to negotiate a price with the driver and be prepared to wait until the bus is full before you depart. For more information, head to one of the transport counters in Terminal 1 on arrival.
2 options to go from Hurghada Airport to city center
We suggest selecting a pickup time 30 minutes after your flight’s scheduled arrival time to ensure you have enough time to pass through Immigration and collect any luggage.
For the most part, Egypt is still a cash-based country, so we recommend you have some on you (including small bills) in order to pay your driver unless you pre-book and pay securely online.

How much is a taxi from Hurghada Airport to the city center?

On average, the Hurghada Airport to the city center taxi fare costs between €3.80 and €5.70 (EGP 200-300) for a 20-minute trip.
