Value for money

There are taxis 24/7 at Sharm El Sheikh Airport.

Where do I get a taxi from?

Taxis queue up in front of Arrivals. When you claim your luggage and exit the terminal, go to the front of the line and board the first available vehicle.

Convenience

Imagine getting off your plane after a long-haul flight, tired and ready to get into a holiday mood. Nothing comes closer to convenience than a private, air-conditioned vehicle that will get you to your hotel comfortably and with zero waiting times.

Editor’s Note

At the airport, choose the officially registered taxis, which are blue and white and avoid random individuals who may approach you offering ‘taxi services’ as they might not be legitimate.

Useful Tips

Make sure to have cash at hand as drivers in Sharm El Sheikh don’t accept card payments.
As taxi rides from the airport are metered, ensure your driver has reset the taximeter before setting off and ask for an estimate of the final price.

There are numerous minibuses, run by private companies, that perform regular itineraries all day long between the city’s districts. The ride from Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Nabq Bay takes approximately 15 minutes.

Minibus services are available around the clock at Sharm El Sheikh Airport.

Where do I get the bus from?

The airport minibuses can be found right in front of Terminal 1. Once you exit the building, you will see the bus sign.

Convenience

Though highly cost-effective, the minibus is not the most convenient transfer option. Besides the fact that you must wait for it to fill up before it leaves, space onboard is limited so there may not be enough room for bulky luggage or multiple passengers if you’re part of a group; moreover, not all minibuses are air-conditioned. In addition, there could be many drop-off stops on the way adding time to your journey.

Editor’s Note

Not all minibus drivers can communicate fluently in English. To avoid unpleasant surprises, settle your ticket price on sight, and to be on the safe side, have your accommodation’s address written down.

Useful Tips

Like the officially registered taxis in Sharm El Sheikh, minibuses are blue and white.
Keep in mind that there are no designated minibus stops en route. You have to inform the driver of your exact destination/drop-off point.
