TL;DR
Travelers suggest using inDrive for rides around Hurghada and photographing the car and licence plate before departure. Minibuses can be an alternative, but they do not operate to or within Sahl Hasheesh.
Before setting off, take a photo of the taxi and its licence plate. Travelers report that documenting the vehicle can help deter problems during the ride.
For getting around Hurghada, travelers recommend ordering a car through inDrive, particularly when no minibus is available nearby. It is presented as a practical alternative to hailing a taxi on the street.
A local minibus can feel more predictable than an unbooked street taxi: travelers specifically note that they did not encounter banknote-switching issues on minibuses.
Do not rely on minibuses for Sahl Hasheesh: travelers report that they do not run to the area or within it. Use a taxi or pre-booked car instead.
