With shared transfers you may have to wait in the bus in the heat while other passengers finish at the airport. Your hotel's distance doesn't always determine travel time — a trip to Safaga (~1 hour from Hurghada) might involve just one stop before yours, while a nearby hotel like Aladdin can involve many stops. On the return, Aladdin's proximity to the airport means pickup can be 4+ hours before departure.

Transfers to Sahl Hasheesh use small minibuses with luggage loaded on the roof. The route covers a maximum of 3 hotels including yours. The same applies in both directions. Based on multiple trips, the first drop-off was always at our hotel; on the return we were the second pickup. Overall the process is fairly quick.
