TL;DR

inDrive taxis work in Sharm El Sheikh, but drivers often haggle for more than the app price on arrival; set the fare in Egyptian pounds with a margin so it matches your target dollar amount.

To make sure the final dollar amount matches, set the taxi fare in Egyptian pounds with some margin when booking, e.g. 280 EGP instead of the calculated rate.
