Full Description
Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba transfer: the easiest way to get there
Getting from Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba should be the easy part of the journey. With a private transfer it is: you tell us your flight number and your hotel, we confirm the price of the Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba transfer on WhatsApp, and on the day a driver meets you at the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the door. No taxi rank, no ticket machines, no changing between buses with suitcases.
This page covers everything travellers ask about the Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba 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 Taba is like, what to see there and where to stay, where you meet your driver at Sharm El Sheikh Airport, which vehicles we use and how the booking works.
How far is Taba from Sharm El Sheikh Airport?
The distance from Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba is about 220 km by road, and the transfer usually takes around 2 hours 55 minutes. Allow a little extra at peak hours; outside them the drive is relaxed and direct. Because the Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba 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 climbs through the mountains to Dahab, then follows the Gulf of Aqaba coast road north past Nuweiba to Taba.
For planning, count on 2 hours 55 minutes plus the time to collect your luggage and clear passport control at Sharm El Sheikh Airport; up to 60 minutes of waiting (90 at some airports) is included.
Arriving at Sharm El Sheikh Airport (SSH)
Sharm El Sheikh Airport (SSH) is about 10 km from Naama Bay and next to Nabq Bay, with Hadaba and the old town about 20 km down the coast road.
A little knowledge of Sharm El Sheikh Airport makes the arrival calmer. Note which terminal or hall your flight uses, keep your phone charged for the WhatsApp thread, and expect the driver to be exactly where the confirmation said - by the arrivals exit with a name board, or at the airport's designated meeting point. From there it is a short walk to the car and the Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba drive begins.
Searches for "SSH to Taba" or "SSH airport transfer" land here for a reason: SSH is the airport code for Sharm El Sheikh Airport, and this is the private-car service that connects it with Taba.
Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba at a glance
Service: private transfer, your own vehicle from Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba, door to door. Route: about 220 km, around 2 hours 55 minutes depending on traffic. Vehicles: Sedan (1–3 passengers) and Minivan (1–7 passengers) - Mercedes, Volkswagen, Ford Transit and Peugeot Traveller models, air-conditioned, with room for luggage. Price: fixed for the whole vehicle and agreed on WhatsApp before you travel, tolls and waiting included, nothing to pay the driver on the day. Meeting: at Sharm El Sheikh Airport, at the point named in your confirmation, with flight tracking so a delay moves the pickup. Booking: the form on this page or a WhatsApp message; confirmation in writing within minutes, in Arabic or English.
Taxi or private transfer from Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba?
An airport taxi from Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba means finding the official rank, waiting your turn, and paying whatever the meter shows at the end - more at night, more in traffic, and sometimes more if the driver takes the long way. A private transfer from Haqqi Tours replaces all of that with one agreed price for the whole car, confirmed in writing on WhatsApp before you fly.
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 Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba per person - and by far the easiest. Public transport to Taba 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 Taba, 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 Taba: is there a bus, train or metro?
Public transport from Sharm El Sheikh Airport runs mainly into Sharm El Sheikh itself: sharm has no rail; buses link the airport and the bus station outside town, not the resort gates, and the coastal road between Nabq and Hadaba is long, so a fixed-price car is the standard arrival. Reaching Taba 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 Taba 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 Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba transfer starts at the arrivals door and ends at the reception desk, and the fixed price covers the whole vehicle.
About Taba
Taba is a border town at the northern end of Egypt's Gulf of Aqaba coast, about 230 km north-east of Sharm El Sheikh. Taba sits at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba, where the coasts of Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia are all visible across the water. The small town has a border crossing and a handful of hotels, while Taba Heights, about 20 km to the south, is a larger resort area on a wide bay backed by mountains. Just offshore, Pharaoh's Island holds the restored Salah El Din Citadel, and the nearby Fjord Bay is a striking snorkelling spot. The drive from Sharm is long and scenic, passing Dahab and Nuweiba along the mountain-backed coast.
Things to do in Taba
The reasons most visitors come to Taba: Pharaoh's Island and Salah El Din Citadel, Fjord Bay, Views of four countries across the gulf, Taba Heights resort bay and Mountain-backed beaches. Arriving by private transfer means you start on them rested, with the luggage already at the hotel.
Sharm El Sheikh itself is within reach for a day: glass-bottom and snorkelling boats, Ras Mohammed National Park and Tiran Island reefs - the same WhatsApp desk arranges the car there and back.
Where to stay in Taba
Hotels and places to stay in Taba: Taba Heights resorts, Hotels in Taba town near the border and Resorts along the coast south of Taba. Tell us yours when you book and the driver plans the last few streets before you land.
Taba town and Taba Heights are about 20 km apart, so confirm which one your hotel is in; carry your passport for the several checkpoints.
Meeting your driver at Sharm El Sheikh Airport
Where you meet your driver depends on Sharm El Sheikh Airport: a set meeting point inside arrivals, a designated exit, or a name board held just after customs. Rather than guess, we send the exact instructions with your WhatsApp confirmation - the meeting place, the driver's name and number, and what to do if you cannot see them. If you choose flight tracking, your driver is at arrivals the minute you land.
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 Sharm El Sheikh Airport.
Our vehicles for the Taba transfer
For this route we offer Sedan (1–3 passengers) and Minivan (1–7 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.
Child seats and booster seats are available on request - say the ages of the children when you book and we bring the right ones. Extra-large luggage, sports equipment and wheelchairs are all fine; just mention them so the right vehicle is sent.
The vehicle is chosen before the confirmation, not at the kerb, so there is no surprise at the door of Sharm El Sheikh 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 Taba transfer
Families are our most frequent guests on this route: a private car means the children are strapped into proper seats, the pushchair goes in the back, and nobody is counting change for tickets. Groups of friends and extended families take the Sprinter or a minivan so the whole party travels together from Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba on one fixed price. Older travellers book it for the door-to-door help with the bags, and couples for a calm start to the trip instead of a taxi queue.
If your trip continues beyond Taba - a day trip, a second city, a port or a return to Sharm El Sheikh Airport - the same desk arranges it in the same WhatsApp conversation, with the same fixed-price approach.
How to book your Taba 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 Taba. 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 Sharm El Sheikh Airport
Nabq Bay is next to the airport while Hadaba and Ras Um Sid are past the old town - tell us the resort so we quote and time the right transfer.
Note the terminal or hall your flight uses at Sharm El Sheikh Airport, and if you change flights before travel tell the desk - the pickup is tracked against the flight number we hold.
Let us know the driver language you would prefer; it depends on the country, the city and the hour, so we cannot promise it, but we do our best to match it and the WhatsApp desk itself always works in Arabic and English.
Taba to Sharm El Sheikh Airport: the return transfer
Heading back to Sharm El Sheikh Airport at the end of the stay is just as easy - tell us the flight time and the hotel, and a driver is at the door with time to spare. Many travellers also use the desk for a day trip or an onward transfer from Taba; everything is arranged in the same WhatsApp chat.
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 Taba transfers
What guests tell us they value about the Taba 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 Taba 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.

Straight answers to what travellers ask us most, before they book.
Where do I meet my driver at Sharm El Sheikh Airport?
It depends on the airport: some have a fixed meeting point inside arrivals, some a specific exit, and at others the driver waits just beyond customs with a sign carrying your name.

Is a private transfer cheaper than an airport taxi from Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Taba?
For two or more people, or anyone with luggage, it usually is - and it is always more predictable.

Can you provide child seats?
Yes - say the ages of the children when you book and the driver brings the right child seats or boosters at no extra charge. Please mention it in the WhatsApp conversation so the correct vehicle is sent.
Are tolls, parking and waiting time included in the price?
