Getting from Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Nabq Bay

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. Minibuses leave the airport concourse once they’re filled, so keep in mind that there may be a bit of a wait – both for the next bus to arrive and for the bus to fill up before departure.

The fares of the shared minibuses in Sharm El Skeikh depend on the passenger’s final destination in the city. When you get in the vehicle, tell the driver your hotel’s location or drop-off point, and they’ll inform you of the exact price per ticket. In the case of Nabq Bay, it’s usually €2 per traveller.

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.
