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.
