Hurghada to Sharm El Naga Transfer

Sharm El Naga is a small bay roughly 45 minutes south of Hurghada, and it is on the map for one reason: the reef starts a few meters from the beach. You can walk in from the sand and be over living coral almost immediately, which is unusual on this coast and is why snorkelers make the trip.

Why you need a car for this

There is no town at Sharm El Naga and no public transport worth the name. It is a beach, a reef and a handful of facilities on an otherwise empty stretch of coast. Getting there means arranging transport, and getting back means having arranged it in advance.

What you get

A private air-conditioned car for your group alone - up to 3 passengers with room for 5 pieces of luggage or beach kit - at a price fixed when you book.

Good to know

• Book both directions. There is nothing to flag down at Sharm El Naga and no taxi rank.
• Agree a return time with your driver before he leaves, or arrange for him to wait - both are possible, just tell us which you want.
• The bay charges its own entry fee on arrival. Bring cash.
• Take your own snorkeling gear if you have it, plus water, a hat and reef-safe sunscreen. Shade is limited.
• Child seats on request with advance notice.

From $20 for the vehicle, one way.
