How do you book an affordable taxi in Sharm El Sheikh, and are there minibus alternatives between areas like Naama Bay and Soho?

A practical tip from the same trip: on arrival at the Old Market, the travelers agreed right away with their inDrive driver on roughly when to pick them up. The driver came back at the agreed time and drove them home.

According to another participant in September 2026, the driver and car usually did not match the details shown in inDrive, and drivers asked to cancel the ride in the app as soon as passengers got in. They consider this unsafe. So before getting in, check the car and driver against the booking, and be wary if you are asked to cancel the trip once inside.

In September 2026, when asked whether a trip to the Old Market or Naama Bay can be booked through the hotel reception, a participant replied that it can — it is a regular hotel taxi. But via inDrive, in their words, it is two to three times cheaper.

Opinions on inDrive safety diverged in September 2026. One participant believes the app is safe to use only when there is a man in the group, and not for women travelling on their own. Another traveler disagreed: she and two friends booked an inDrive to the Old Market without any problems. These are personal experiences and opinions, not general statistics.
