TL;DR

What the community said

For the lowest fare, walk about 100 m away from the hotel and flag down a passing car; the reported benchmark is US$1. If a driver quotes more, decline and wait for another vehicle.

A taxi taken directly outside a hotel can cost considerably more, with a reported range of US$3–20. For daily trips into town, agree the fare before getting in and consider walking away from the hotel entrance first.

For short journeys around Dahab, inDrive is reportedly unnecessary: step outside the resort gate or wave down a taxi. In central Dahab, cars often wait near Lighthouse and Mashraba, by the exits from the neighbourhood streets.
