El Gouna Hurghada Airport Transfers
Hurghada airport does not have shuttle buses. In addition, there isn’t a general taxi rank. There are ‘white airport taxis’ at Hurghada Airport. If you haven’t pre booked a taxi you will be guided to these. In contrast to local taxis, white taxis are very expensive. Consequently, make sure you have deep pockets if you choose to use these!
As a result, we really do recommend that you pre-book your Hurghada Airport taxi. Additional advantages include a meet and greet service as you come out of the arrivals hall. In addition, it also means that you will pay a fair and affordable price for a transfer to your accommodation.
