Hurghada stretches for over 40km along the coast. It’s not a walking city. So, how do you get from your hotel to the Marina or the city center without getting lost or overcharged?
Here is the local scoop on transportation, ranked from “Most Recommended” to “Most Adventurous.”
1. Uber & Careem (The Best Choice)
Why? It’s safe, tracked by GPS, and the price is fixed before you ride. No haggling, no language barrier.
Tip: Download the apps before you arrive. You can pay via the app or in cash.
2. The Orange Taxis
The Vibe: They are everywhere. Just wave your hand.
The Rule: Never get in without agreeing on a price first. Meters are rarely used. Ask your hotel reception for a fair price estimate before you leave so you know how to negotiate.
3. Microbuses (For the Brave)
The Vibe: White minivans packed with locals. It’s incredibly cheap (only a few pounds), but it can be crowded, confusing, and fast. Only recommended if you want a truly raw local experience!
4. Private Transfers (Stress-Free)
Airport Transfers: The last thing you want after a flight is to haggle with taxi drivers.
The Solution: Pre-book a private transfer with Mega Adventures. Our driver waits for you with a sign, helps with luggage, and takes you straight to your hotel in a modern, A/C vehicle.
