Sharm El-Sheikh Airport Taxi

The Sharm El-sheikh Airport taxi rank is located outside the Arrivals area. There are both regular and tourist taxis which operate from the airport. The tourist taxi from Sharm El-sheikh Airport will often charge double fares and passengers may be required to bargain with the drivers before departure as the driver may assume tourists are unaware of the correct taxi rate, which should be around EGP 40 to the city centre.

 

A regular taxi from Sharm El Sheikh Airport is not right outside the SSH Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport terminal, but if you start to walk across the car park outside arrivals, you will be approached by Sharm El Sheikh Airport taxi drivers who will offer to take you to your hotel for an outrageously inflated price. Much argument and walking away will be required to obtain a realistic price of under the tourist taxis. Taxi drivers are not keen to be paid in Egyptian pounds, but prefer US Dollars, Euros or British Pounds.




 Sharm El-Sheikh Airport Taxi Scams


Shop Commissions
Many taxis are expensive and the drivers are renowned for taking people to shops and restaurants where they receive commission - regardless of where the passenger actually wants to go. You are advised to hire a taxi from a designated taxi stand or order one through your hotel, sticking to the blue and white taxis where possible. Always make sure you agree on a price before getting in and if you are unsure how much your journey should cost, ask your hotel prior to walking outside.

 

Meters
Insist that your taxi driver uses his meter and it is the by law especially from the airport to the town centre. If you can have transportation waiting for you at SSH Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport, this will allow a more stress-free arrival, as it is the worst part of Egypt for getting a reasonably priced taxi.
