How much does a taxi cost in Sharm El Sheikh and how to avoid overpaying?

Always negotiate the fare with the driver before the ride — he won't agree to a price that's unprofitable for him, but once he agrees, he'll stick to it without extra charges.

A taxi to the old town should cost no more than $2. Drivers actively flag down tourists — state your price of $2 upfront; if they refuse, just walk away and they'll usually agree immediately.

In InDrive the fare is set in the app in advance, but it's best to confirm with the driver when boarding that you'll pay that exact price, to avoid inflated charges mid-ride.

If you book a taxi through local contacts at an agreed price, that price typically doesn't change once you're on the way.

Taxi drivers right at the airport tend to inflate prices the most. If possible, walk past the airport grounds — taxis there are noticeably cheaper.
