Hurghada Airport Private Transfer to Safaga or Soma Bay

Summary

Private Car Service: Hurghada Airport to Safaga & Soma Bay

You’ll skip the hassle of haggling for cabs and get straight to your hotel in Safaga or Soma Bay with a friendly local driver who knows the area inside out. It’s comfortable, quick, and you can ask anything about Hurghada along the way.

What’s the experience like?

Stepping off the plane at Hurghada Airport, I spotted my name on a sign just past the luggage carousel—always a relief after a long flight. The air outside was warm, that dry Red Sea breeze you only get in this part of Egypt. My driver greeted me with a quick smile and handed me a cold bottle of water before leading me to an air-conditioned car parked right out front—no wandering around or waiting in line for taxis.

The drive itself was smooth, about half an hour give or take, depending on traffic near Sahl Hasheesh. We passed little roadside stalls selling fresh mangoes and saw the sun dipping low over the desert. My driver chatted easily in English (he mentioned he also speaks Russian and Arabic), pointing out where locals go for seafood in Safaga and sharing tips on what to avoid with airport taxis. I noticed the car was spotless and even had a faint lemony scent—small detail, but it made the ride feel more welcoming.
