Can I fly from Sharm El Sheikh to Hurghada for a day tour, and what are the rules for flying home from a different Egyptian city?

TL;DR
You can travel from Sharm El Sheikh to Hurghada on an excursion flight, but you need a full Egyptian visa to leave Sinai. If you arrive in one Egyptian city and depart from another, such as Hurghada and Cairo or Sharm El Sheikh, use a scheduled domestic flight.
What the community said
For tours departing from Makadi Bay, the transfer commonly collects guests around Makadi before heading to Hurghada. The return follows the same route, so allow extra time for hotel pickups and drop-offs.

If you arrive in Hurghada but your onward international flight leaves from Sharm El Sheikh or Cairo, book a scheduled domestic flight. An excursion flight is not suitable for this type of open-jaw itinerary.

Some excursions from Sharm El Sheikh to Hurghada offer air travel instead of a long overland journey. Arrange a full Egyptian visa before booking, since the Sinai-only entry stamp does not allow travel outside the region.
