Overview

Sharm el Sheikh is recognized as the jewel of the Red Sea Riviera in Egypt. Situated on the southern tip of the Sinai peninsular, this is a paradise for adventure lovers with diving, water sports, safaris and outstanding nightlife.
Twenty years ago Sharm El Sheikh was merely a small camping and fishing village. Today, Sharm El Sheikh offers a luxury modern life style, with 365 days of sunshine, clean air and sea, amazing sandy beaches, beautiful coral reefs, red mountains and blue skies.

Distance from Airport

Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) is located approximately 18km northeast of Sharm el Sheikh, near Ras Nasrani.

Getting Downtown Sharm El Sheikh

A minibus service travels to Sharm el Sheikh. Minibuses only leave when they are at full capacity. Journey time is approximately 20 minutes.

There are no public bus services from the airport.

The taxi rank is located outside the arrivals area. There are regular taxis and tourist taxis which operate from the airport. The tourist taxis often charge double fares and passengers may be required to bargain with the drivers before departure as the driver may assume tourists are unaware of the correct taxi rate, which should be around 40 (approximately £5) Egyptian pounds to the city centre.
