Full Description
Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh transfer: the easiest way to get there
When you land at Hurghada Airport, the last thing you want is to work out how to get from the airport to Sharm El Sheikh. A private airport transfer takes the question away: a Haqqi Tours driver is at arrivals when you walk out, your vehicle is parked minutes away, and the cost of the Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh transfer was fixed on WhatsApp before you left home. There is no airport taxi queue, no meter running in traffic and no negotiating a fare in a language you may not speak.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh route: how far it is and how long it takes, whether an airport taxi, public transport or a private transfer is the better choice, what Sharm El Sheikh is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Hurghada Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
How far is Sharm El Sheikh from Hurghada Airport?
The distance from Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh is about 480 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 6 hours. Journey time depends on the time of day: early mornings and late evenings are quickest, weekday rush hours and holiday weekends add time. Because the Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh transfer price is fixed in advance, a slow drive never costs you more, which is the first difference from an airport taxi on the meter.
The route runs north on the Red Sea coastal road to Suez, crosses under the canal through the Ahmed Hamdi Tunnel and then follows the Gulf of Suez coast of Sinai south.
If you are asking "how long does it take to get from Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh", the honest answer is 6 hours in normal traffic, and your driver will tell you on the day if anything on the route has changed.
Arriving at Hurghada Airport (HRG)
Hurghada International Airport (HRG) is right beside the city; Sakkala is 10 minutes away, El Gouna about 30 minutes north, Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi 20-30 minutes south.
Whichever hall you come out of, the routine for a Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh transfer is the same: collect your bags, clear passport control, switch on your phone, and follow the meeting instruction from your WhatsApp confirmation. Your driver already knows your flight has landed - every pickup at Hurghada Airport is tracked against the live arrival time - so there is no need to call, though a message is always welcome.
Searches for "HRG to Sharm El Sheikh" or "HRG airport transfer" land here for a reason: HRG is the airport code for Hurghada Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Sharm El Sheikh.

Taxi or private transfer from Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh?
Travellers searching for "Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh taxi cost" usually find a range rather than a number, because taxi fares depend on the meter, the hour and the route. Our private transfer gives you a single fixed price for the whole vehicle, agreed on WhatsApp in advance, so the cost of getting from Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh is known before you land.
For one traveller with a small bag, a taxi or public transport can be a fair choice. For two or more people, a family with children, or anyone with real luggage, a private transfer is normally the cheapest way to get from Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Sharm El Sheikh involves changes, tickets and stairs; a private car goes to the hotel door.
There is also the question of trust. Our drivers know the hotels of Sharm El Sheikh, work on a fixed price, and never take a detour or add a "special fare" at the end. Your booking is confirmed by a real person on a WhatsApp desk that works in Arabic and English, and that same desk is reachable throughout your trip.
Public transport to Sharm El Sheikh: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Hurghada Airport runs mainly into Hurghada itself: there is no rail or metro in Hurghada; hotels are spread along a single coast road, and public minibuses do not serve the resort gates, so a pre-booked car from the airport is standard. Reaching Sharm El Sheikh from there means a further connection with your luggage, which is where a door-to-door car saves the most time and effort.
Many of our guests have tried the public route into Sharm El Sheikh once and booked the car ever after. The difference is not only speed but effort: no ticket machines in a foreign language, no stairs with suitcases, no working out the last mile to the hotel. A private Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Sharm El Sheikh
Sharm El Sheikh is at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, directly across the Red Sea from Hurghada but about 800 km away by road around the Gulf of Suez. Sharm El Sheikh is Egypt's leading Sinai resort, spread over a series of bays where red desert mountains meet coral-rich water. It is famous for diving and snorkelling at Ras Mohammed National Park and the reefs of the Tiran strait, and for Naama Bay's pedestrian promenade. Old Sharm has a traditional market and the landmark Al Sahaba Mosque. Because the Gulf of Suez separates the two resorts, the road journey from Hurghada is very long: north along the African coast, under the Suez Canal, then south down the Sinai coast.
Things to do in Sharm El Sheikh
The reasons most visitors come to Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed National Park, Naama Bay promenade, Old Market and Al Sahaba Mosque, Tiran island reefs and Soho Square. Arriving by private transfer means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.
Hurghada itself is within reach for a day: Mahmya island, a day to Luxor from the coast and Giftun Island and the Orange Bay beaches - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Sharm El Sheikh
Where visitors stay in Sharm El Sheikh: Naama Bay, Nabq Bay, Sharks Bay and Hadaba. Our Hurghada Airport to Sharm El Sheikh transfer goes to any hotel, apartment or private address there - send the hotel name and, if you have it, a map pin on WhatsApp, and the driver goes straight to the right door.
This is a full day on the road with several security checkpoints, so keep your passport handy and plan rest stops along the way.
Meeting your driver at Hurghada Airport
Your confirmation message on WhatsApp includes the meeting arrangement for Hurghada Airport - it varies by airport, between an indoor meeting point, a specific exit and a driver with a sign at the arrivals door - along with your driver's name and number. With flight tracking, your driver is there the minute you land, and the waiting time is included in the fixed price.
Up to 60 minutes of waiting is included (90 minutes at some airports), and if you are delayed at baggage or passport control a quick WhatsApp message keeps your driver informed. On the way back, the driver collects you from the hotel at an agreed time with enough margin for your flight from Hurghada Airport.
Our vehicles for the Sharm El Sheikh transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers), Minivan (1–7 passengers) and Sprinter (8–13 passengers). The vans are Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, all recent, air-conditioned and cleaned between journeys, with proper luggage space rather than a crowded boot. Choose the vehicle by how many of you are travelling and how much luggage you bring; the desk will tell you if a larger vehicle would be more comfortable.
All vehicles are insured and driven by professional, licensed drivers who know the Sharm El Sheikh road. Child seats are provided on request, and there is no extra charge for reasonable luggage.
The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Hurghada Airport: what we agreed on WhatsApp is what is waiting, and if your luggage looks like it needs a bigger vehicle we say so before you pay.
Who books the Sharm El Sheikh transfer
Who uses a private transfer to Sharm El Sheikh? Couples who would rather not start a holiday in a taxi queue; families who need child seats and space for a pushchair; groups of six to thirteen who want to arrive together in one vehicle; business travellers with a meeting the same day; and travellers landing at night, when public transport is thin and a fixed price is worth more than ever. Every one of them books the same way - a WhatsApp message - and gets the same written confirmation.
The transfer is the first thing most guests book with us and rarely the last; day trips from Sharm El Sheikh and the ride back to Hurghada Airport are arranged in the same conversation.
How to book your Sharm El Sheikh transfer
Booking is simple: fill in the form on this page or message us on WhatsApp with your flight number, the date, the number of passengers and your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh. A member of our team replies within minutes to confirm the price and the meeting point. Payment is arranged on WhatsApp as well, in whichever way suits you, and your confirmation is written down so nothing is left to memory.
Changes and cancellations are handled through the same WhatsApp conversation. Because the terms depend on conditions such as how close to the pickup time the request is made, our team will explain exactly what applies to your booking when you ask - always before any payment, never as a surprise afterwards.
Good to know before you land at Hurghada Airport
El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi and Soma Bay are 25-50 km from the airport in opposite directions - always send the resort name with the hotel.
Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Hurghada Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.
Tell us in advance about anything that affects the vehicle - child seats and ages, a wheelchair, skis, golf bags, a pushchair, extra suitcases - so the right car or van is sent to Hurghada Airport.
Sharm El Sheikh to Hurghada Airport: the return transfer
Most guests book the return at the same time: a Sharm El Sheikh to Hurghada Airport transfer from the hotel door, timed to your departure, with the same fixed-price approach. If your plans change during the trip, message the desk and the pickup time is adjusted.
Many guests book both directions together for a single confirmation with two times on it; if the return flight changes during the stay, one message moves the pickup to the new time.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Sharm El Sheikh transfers
What guests tell us they value about the Sharm El Sheikh transfer is the absence of surprises. The price they were quoted is the price they pay. The driver is where the confirmation said. The car is clean and the right size. And the WhatsApp desk that made the booking is still there, in Arabic and English, for the whole trip - for the return, a day out, or a question about Sharm El Sheikh at any hour.
Pickup options and waiting time
When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:
- Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
- Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.
At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.
With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.
Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.

With luggage, a family or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer is the easiest and most comfortable way: door to door, no queue, no changes.
