Hurghada to Alexandria Transfer

Hurghada to Alexandria: about 700 km and eight hours, west across the desert to Cairo and then north to the Mediterranean.

It is a long day, and it is the direct way to swap one coast for the other - from the Red Sea reefs to the Corniche, the Library of Alexandria and the Qaitbay Citadel on the site of the ancient lighthouse.

What you get

A private air-conditioned vehicle for your group alone, up to 3 passengers with room for 5 pieces of luggage, and a professional driver at a price fixed before you travel.

Practical planning

• Start early. The Cairo section decides how long the whole journey takes, and mid-morning is far better than mid-afternoon.
• Give us the exact Alexandria address - the city stretches a long way along the coast and the eastern suburbs are an hour from the centre in traffic.
• Catching a ship or a flight from Alexandria? Send the time and we will work the departure back from it with real margin.
• Take water and food for the road.

Good to know

• Child seats available on request with advance notice.
• Alexandria is noticeably cooler and wetter than the Red Sea, especially between November and March. Pack a layer you can reach without opening a suitcase.
• Want to stop in Cairo on the way for a few hours at the Pyramids? Ask us and we will quote it as a combined journey.

From $190 for the vehicle, one way.
