In Naama Bay, avoid taxis waiting in the queue — they overcharge. Walk toward the road in the direction of Palm Royale and cars will stop on their own. Fares this way never exceed 150 EGP.

Taxi apps generally work well in Sharm el-Sheikh, though the occasional rude driver is possible — that's not the app's fault. The main limitation is airport pickups: the car can't enter the airport grounds, so you need to walk out to the road and order from there.
