How to get a taxi in Sharm el-Sheikh: prices and tips

Avoid hailing taxis directly from your hotel entrance — prices can be 3x higher. Walk a short distance from the hotel and flag down a car on the road. This is especially true near luxury hotels like Rixos.

The ride from Nabq to Naama Bay costs around $4–5 one way. Always agree on the price before getting in the car.

InDrive app works in Sharm el-Sheikh and is useful for checking fair fares. Look up the price in the app, then offer a street taxi the same amount or slightly more to avoid overpaying.

Taxis are less frequent at night but still available. InDrive also operates after dark.

There is a local taxi service in Sharm el-Sheikh with lower prices than regular street taxis. Ask locals or hotel staff for the current name.
