🚖 Getting Around by Taxi in Sharm El Sheikh

Most taxis don’t use meters, so it's important to agree on the fare before the ride. A short trip within areas like Naama Bay or Hadaba typically costs 50–80 EGP.

🚌 Shared Minibuses – Cheap Way to Get Around Sharm

Shared white minibuses, called “microbuses,” are a low-cost way of getting around Sharm El Sheikh. They follow general routes and cost only 5–10 EGP. However, they may be confusing for tourists as there are no signs, and drivers rarely speak English. Use them only if you're adventurous or with a local guide. They're best for short, familiar routes.
