What a limousine in Sharm El Sheikh really is
In Egypt, limousine is the everyday word for a private car with a chauffeur — not a stretch limo with a minibar. Book a limousine in Sharm El Sheikh with Mido Tours and that’s what you get, in the local sense: a clean, comfortable, air-conditioned car, or a Toyota Hiace-style minivan for groups, with a professional local driver at your disposal for the time you’ve booked.
The difference from a taxi is simple. A taxi takes you from one point to another. A car with driver stays with you — waiting outside the shop, the meeting or the restaurant — until you’re ready for the next stop.
Private driver in Sharm El Sheikh by the hour, half day or full day
- By the hour: dinner with a stop on the way, a pharmacy and supermarket run, or a visit to friends staying at another hotel.
- Half day: shopping in the Old Market, a look at Al Sahaba Mosque and the Heavenly Cathedral, then sunset drinks at Farsha Café in Hadaba.
- Full day: a long day of meetings, a family day out with plenty of stops, or a road trip out of Sharm.
Tell us the start time, the number of passengers and a rough plan on WhatsApp. We’ll suggest how many hours make sense and send one clear quote for the whole booking.
Who books a car with driver?
Shoppers and sightseers. Bags stay in the car while you carry on, and you never have to look for a taxi between stops.
Business travelers and conference guests. If you’re in Sharm for meetings or a conference, a chauffeur who knows the hotels and venues saves time. You answer emails in the back seat; the driver deals with gates, drop-off points and parking.
Weddings, anniversaries and special occasions. Moving the family between a hotel, a photo spot and a dinner venue takes planning. We arrange the car, the timings and the waiting so the day runs smoothly. We don’t promise luxury brands; we promise a clean car, a professional driver and timings agreed in advance.
Families with small children or older relatives. With a car on standby, you can head back to the hotel whenever someone gets tired. Need a child seat? Tell us and we will confirm.
Day outings by private car
Your driver doesn’t have to stay in Sharm. Popular outings by road include:
- Dahab: about 1 h 15 – 1 h 30 each way, with the Blue Hole, the Lighthouse reef and the seafront promenade at the other end. Route details are on our Sharm El Sheikh to Dahab transfer page.
- Nuweiba: roughly 2.5 hours away, for a quiet beach day on the Gulf of Aqaba. See the Sharm to Nuweiba transfer.
- Taba: 3–3.5 hours via Dahab and Nuweiba. That makes a very long round trip, so it usually works better one-way.
- Cairo: about 6–7 hours by road, which makes it a one-way private transfer to Cairo rather than a day out.
Sinai roads have security checkpoints, so every passenger needs a passport on any outing beyond Sharm.
Limousine or taxi?
If you just need to get from A to B, a single Taxi Mido ride is the simpler choice. Choose the limousine service in Sharm El Sheikh when you have several stops, need the driver to wait, or want one car and driver for the whole day. Either way, the price is agreed on WhatsApp at +20 10 1868 1624 before you set off — no meter running in the background and no hidden fees.
