Taxi & Transfers from Sharm El Sheikh Airport (SSH) to Hadaba

How to Get from Sharm el-Sheikh Airport to Hadaba

The 22-kilometre route from Sharm el-Sheikh Airport to Hadaba can feel effortless or unexpectedly slow depending on the wheels you choose. Below you’ll find every taxi route and private transfer option, with times and fares verified in May 2025 so you can pick the service that fits your needs.

Skip unscheduled minibuses and focus on reliable links—whether it’s flagging a cab under the terminal canopy or booking a taxi-transfer with Kiwitaxi that locks a fixed price before wheels turn.

By Taxi

Taxis queue outside arrivals under the white-and-blue shelters. The meter starts at 40 EGP and ticks at about 2 EGP per kilometre. For the 21-to-25-minute ride you’ll pay roughly 80–100 EGP, depending on traffic and the exact drop-off point.

The standard taxi route follows Airport Road onto El Fanar Street, then heads up Hadaba Road. Outside peak prayer times you can glide in around 21 minutes; at sunset or during school runs, expect closer to 25. Cab drivers accept cash or card, but having small notes ready avoids the “no change” shuffle..

If you fancy a shortcut, ask your driver about the back-street bypass near the police station—that little detour can shave off a few minutes and keep the A/C humming.

Private Transfer

Booking a transfer with Kiwitaxi secures one clear fee—about 400 EGP for up to three passengers, tolls included. Your driver meets you inside arrivals, holds a name board, and offers 60 minutes of free waiting if your flight is delayed or customs takes longer.

This taxi-transfer route mirrors a street cab on timing but skips the rank and meter worries. Travelling with surfboards or extra suitcases? You can choose a larger vehicle class in advance and avoid any last-minute boot-Tetris.

Vehicle Classes for Your Transfer

• Compact Sedan – perfect for one or two travellers with cabin bags
• Comfort Car – spacious interior and room for three medium suitcases
• Minivan – seats five to six, deep boot for beach gear or strollers
• Executive SUV – extra legroom, leather seats and USB charging ports

Transfer with Children

Local regulations recommend child seats for passengers under 12 years old. Tick the appropriate option when booking and your driver installs a booster or toddler seat before departure—no frantic searches at the counter.

Most drivers also pause at a roadside warung on request, turning potential back-seat boredom into a quick snack or restroom break under shaded palm trees.

Transfer with Pets

Small cats and dogs travel comfortably in hard-shell carriers; for larger crates you’ll need the Minivan option. Note crate dimensions in the booking form so a seat folds flat ahead of arrival.

Airport security rarely inspects vaccine papers on departure, yet having them ready in your bag speeds up any checks and keeps your pet calm during loading.

What to See in Hadaba

Hadaba’s hillside vantage points frame Sharm’s turquoise beaches below. Make time for a stroll to the old lighthouse lookout—a short walk from the shore that delivers 360° views of Ras Mohammed’s coral reefs sparkling in the morning sun.

Midday, explore the local market where spice stalls spill saffron and cinnamon scents onto sunlit lanes. Sip fresh pomegranate juice and sample sweet baklava while merchants teach you a few Arabic phrases with every transaction.

As the sun sets, settle on a cliff-top terrace and watch fishermen in traditional dhows drift by. The sky melts from coral to deep blue, and you’ll realise the right transfer route left energy for sunrises rather than seat-hunting.
