TL;DR
A taxi from Dahab to Sharm costs around $30-40, but drivers usually try to bargain up — negotiate back. Airport transfers tend to be pricier than taxis; booking a transfer through your hotel is usually the smoothest option.
When choosing between a transfer and a taxi from the airport to the hotel, transfer companies often quote very high prices — worth comparing options before booking.
Getting around within Dahab itself (between neighborhoods) is usually straightforward with no major hassle over price.
For intercity trips, drivers often quote one price and then try to double it once you're in the car — this is common practice, so bargain back firmly.
A Sharm El Sheikh–Dahab trip typically costs around $30-40, though drivers are reluctant to go for that price late in the evening or at night.
For a hotel-to-airport transfer, it's recommended to arrange it directly through your hotel — this avoids haggling with a driver on the spot.
For intercity rides, it's advised to carry exact cash so you're not stuck waiting for the driver to find change.
