Makadi Bay to Hurghada Transfer

The return leg: Makadi Bay back into Hurghada, roughly 40 minutes north on the coast road, in a private air-conditioned car booked in advance at a fixed price.

What you get

The vehicle is yours alone - up to 3 passengers with room for 5 pieces of luggage - with a driver who arrives at your hotel reception at the time you agreed. No shared shuttle and no waiting for other guests.

Getting out of Makadi is the harder direction

Arriving somewhere is usually easy; leaving a resort area at six in the morning for a flight is where people come unstuck. There is no taxi rank at Makadi Bay, and hotel-arranged cars at short notice tend to be expensive.

Book this in advance and a driver is at reception when you come down, whatever the hour.

Good to know

• Tell us whether you are going to the airport or into the city, and give us your flight time if it is the former. We will suggest a departure time that leaves sensible margin.
• Give us your hotel name - Makadi is spread out and pickup points differ.
• Child seats on request with advance notice.
• Extra luggage or sports equipment is not a problem, but tell us in advance.
• WhatsApp is the fastest way to confirm or change a pickup time.

From $15 for the vehicle, one way.
