How to get from your hotel in Hurghada to the city center and how much does it cost (taxi, InDrive, minibus)?
Based on 2 discussions with 6 participants · Last activity: 8 days ago
TL;DR
InDrive rides to your hotel cost around 265 EGP, while a shared minibus (dolmush) to Hurghada Center Mall is just 5 EGP. Hotels far from downtown (e.g., Makadi area, ~30km) often have taxi-hailing issues and add $5-10 to excursion prices for transfer.

Some beach transfers take guests to a different hotel's beach, where most services require extra payment - and the fees aren't small.

Hotels located 30km from Hurghada's center (e.g., in the Makadi Bay area) have real difficulties with hailing taxis. Nearly every excursion from such hotels costs an extra $5-10 due to pickup logistics, and shopping trips become impractical.

To reach Hurghada Center Mall (turn right from your hotel), take any dolmush (shared minibus) for 5 EGP, or walk about 30 minutes - there are plenty of ATMs nearby.
