First time to Sharm coming up in about three weeks :P :P :P flying from Manchester on 8th June. Getting really excited now! Last year we went to the Coral Hilton at Nuweiba and had a great time.

This time we booked through On The Beach holidays - good price of £450 each for 1 week AI, but transfers aren't included.

Can someone please tell me how much the taxi ride from the airport to the LTI Grand Azure should be, and which taxis to use, so we won't get taken for a ride!!

Ta :wink:

hi all, I have seen on here that you have to get blue and white taxis from sharm airport to your hotel is this for ant particular reason? does anyone know how much it will cost or how much we should pay and do we have to haggle too for these? we are going on wednesday 28th to the turquoise partner hotel in sharm el maya(sharm el sheikh) i think its about 25 k from the airport and was wondering if anyone has got a rough idea to cost for taxi? would be grateful for quick response
thanks

Hi the blue and white ones are the registered ones, bit like using a black cab in London. Don't know about cost but you need to get a price before you get in, and make sure it is for the whole group! It won't be mega bucks though

Have a lovely holiday! :glynis :sun

The taxi prices for the registered blue and white ones are for the whole car

as an example from Sharks Bay - the other side of the airport to the terminal a taxi would cost LE40 =£4 English they always ask for more
and beware
if an Egyptian offers to get you a taxi he WILL want his share so the price instantly doubles

just replying the memeber who said that it would cost 40 l.e. = 4 sterl. .,the only right info. in that was the currency rate :mrgreen: , just wanted to tell him that turquoise hotel is little bet after old sharm when you are coming from naama bay,the taxi price from sharm to naama bay is 25 l.e. & from naama bay to the airport it is around 50 l.e. -10 l.e. will be up or down after the negotiations with the driver -.it is no way for a resident egyptian or a foriegner can take a taxi from airport to turquoise for 40 l.e. , so i think a tourist arriving to sharm airport with luggages will made a record if he or she will take it for 80 l.e. not even 40 .
just wanted to clarify as i just took a taxi to sierra hotel-behinde the apt. from old sharm this morning for 50 l.e.-
have fun everybody

OOOpppss

I actually meant Naama Bay
We were at the Tropicana Grand Oasis and it's around
LE10 on a micro bus and
LE 40 to Naama Bay and
LE 60 to OLD Sharm

Thanks for reminding me Sharmer
Roll on Sept 4 th when we go back

Don't get conned by the micro bus either! From around Naama to old sharm it is only LE 1, and I think 3 if you go further, e.g grand oasis. You always see them stopping for tourists, and charging LE10 or thereabouts, when it is only LE1! so be careful!

hi,i have just returned from sharm el sheikh and stayed at the turquoise hotel almost at the end of the resort about 25km from airport. after a lot of haggling managed to get a taxi and to my disgust,was ripped off and had to pay 20 english pounds for the pleasure of being driven at break neck speed to my hotel with the luggage precariously lodged on the roofrack half expecting it to fall off at anytime. but when i arrived at the hotel and told the guy on reception he informed me it should have cost no more than 5 pounds,so when i left he got the security to get me a taxi and made sure that was all i needed to pay, i have to sy the driver was not amuse but that was all he got from me..so we live and learn

Please could someone advise me on how much I should expect to pay for a taxi from Sharm airport to the Marriott hotel in Namma Bay?

Louz,

you should pay no more than 30LE.

If your paying with Egyptian LE, and you give a 5le note, a favourite trick with taxi drivers and market traders, is to palm the 5LE, then tryu to convince you that you gave them a 25piesta note, worth about a penny. Count the notes into their hands.
