Alexandria to Hurghada Transfer

Alexandria to Hurghada is the full width of northern Egypt - roughly 700 km and around eight hours, down the desert road to Cairo and then east to the Red Sea.

Who books it

Travelers coming off a cruise ship at Alexandria, families combining the Mediterranean with the Red Sea, and anyone who would rather not deal with a domestic flight and two more transfers at either end. One car, one price, your luggage untouched from door to door.

What you get

A private air-conditioned vehicle for your group alone, up to 4 passengers with room for 2 pieces of luggage, and a driver experienced on the long-distance runs.

Planning an eight-hour drive

• Leave early. Getting through the Cairo area is the slow part, and a dawn start avoids most of it.
• Take water and food. The stops are decent but spaced out.
• Tell your driver how often you want to break - he works to your pace, not a schedule.
• If you have more than two suitcases, tell us in advance and we will send a bigger vehicle.

Good to know

• Coming off a ship? Give us the vessel name and berth - port access and formalities take time.
• Give us the exact Hurghada hotel for the final leg.
• Child seats available on request with advance notice.

From $190 for the vehicle, one way.
