Cairo to Hurghada Transfer

Cairo to Hurghada by road is roughly 450 km and about six hours of driving. It is the alternative to a domestic flight, and for a family with luggage it is often the more sensible one: door to door, no baggage limits, no airport queues at either end, and one fixed price for the whole vehicle rather than a fare per person.

The route

Out of Cairo and east across the desert to the Red Sea, then south along the coast road. Service stations along the way have fuel, food and clean facilities, and your driver stops whenever you ask him to.

What you get

A private air-conditioned vehicle for your group alone - up to 4 passengers with room for 5 pieces of luggage - and a professional driver who does this route regularly.

Good to know before you book

• Give us the exact Cairo pickup address. The city is vast and the difference between Heliopolis, Downtown and Giza is an hour of traffic.
• If you are coming from Cairo Airport, send your flight number and we will track it.
• Cairo traffic is genuinely unpredictable. Leaving early morning or after the evening peak makes a real difference to the total time.
• Take water and snacks. Six hours is a long stretch, particularly with children.
• Child seats available on request with advance notice.

From $130 for the vehicle, one way.
