Landing at Sharm El Sheikh International Airport (SSH) is usually quick, but stepping out of the terminal into the heat and bargaining for a ride is nobody’s favorite start to a holiday. A pre-booked Sharm El Sheikh airport transfer takes that off your list: the price is settled before you travel, and someone is already waiting when you walk out.
Taxi Mido transfers are the most-reviewed service among the 80+ guest reviews on our site, which average 5.0 out of 5 and come from travelers from the UK, Italy, Poland, Lebanon and many other countries. You can read their reviews before you book.
How our Sharm El Sheikh airport transfer works
- Send your details on WhatsApp: flight number, arrival date and time, hotel name, number of passengers and roughly how many suitcases.
- Get a quote and confirmation in the same chat. The price is agreed upfront and stays the same on the day.
- Tell us about changes. If your flight is delayed or rescheduled, message us when you can and we’ll move the pick-up to your new arrival time.
- Walk out into arrivals. After passport control and baggage claim, your driver is waiting in the arrivals area holding a sign with your name.
- Ride straight to your hotel door. The driver helps with the luggage and takes you directly to your hotel — no other passengers, no detours.
SSH airport transfer times to each area
The airport sits north of the main resort areas, close to Nabq Bay and Sharks Bay, so most hotels are a short ride away. Approximate drive times:
| Area | Approx. drive from SSH airport |
|---|---|
| Nabq Bay & Ras Nasrani | about 10 min |
| Sharks Bay & Soho Square | about 10 min |
| Naama Bay | 15–20 min (about 12–15 km) |
| Old Market (Sharm El Maya / Old Sharm) | about 25 min |
| Hadaba / Ras Um Sid | 25–30 min |
Real times depend on traffic and where your hotel sits within each area. A transfer from Sharm airport to Naama Bay usually takes 15–20 minutes, while the Old Market and Hadaba, at the southern end of town, take a little longer.

Families, groups and luggage
Tell us how many people and bags you have and we’ll match the vehicle to your group instead of squeezing everyone into a small car. Couples and small families travel in a comfortable air-conditioned car; larger families and groups get a white Toyota Hiace-style minivan with space for suitcases, strollers and diving gear.
If you need a child seat, mention it when you book and we will confirm whether one is available for your ride. Traveling with older relatives or someone with limited mobility? Let us know, and the driver will be ready to help with bags and with getting in and out of the vehicle.
Staying outside Sharm? Meet & greet works the same way for long routes, so we can drive you from the arrivals area straight to Dahab or further up the coast.
Your return transfer to the airport
Book the return when you book your arrival, or message us during your stay. For international flights, we usually advise leaving your hotel about 2.5–3 hours before departure — a little earlier from Hadaba or the Old Market, or on busy travel days. Check-in and security queues can build up, and waiting with a coffee at the gate beats rushing. Night arrivals and early-morning departures are a normal part of airport work for us; just tell us the time.

Price and payment
Whether you search for a Sharm El Sheikh airport taxi or a private transfer, the idea with us is the same: the price depends on your area, group size and vehicle, and it is quoted before you travel. Send your flight and hotel details on WhatsApp at +20 10 1868 1624 and you’ll have a clear quote back, usually within minutes. Once you accept it, that’s the price — no hidden fees.
The local currency is the Egyptian pound, and US dollars and euros are widely accepted in tourist areas; let us know how you’d like to pay when you book. Tipping is customary in Egypt and always appreciated, but it is entirely your choice.
