What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was my name, scribbled a bit unevenly on a sign, just outside the sliding doors at Sharm El Sheikh Airport. It made me laugh — something about seeing your own name in someone else’s handwriting after a long flight feels oddly comforting. Our driver smiled and waved, and even though it was late, he seemed genuinely awake (more than I was). The air outside hit me: warm, dry, kind of dusty but not unpleasant. You know that desert smell? It clings to your clothes in a good way.

I’d worried about finding my way through arrivals or haggling with taxis, but honestly, this private transfer from Sharm El Sheikh airport just made everything easy. We piled into a surprisingly cool car (air-con working overtime), and our driver chatted in English about where we were staying — he knew the area better than Google Maps. My bag disappeared into the trunk before I could even fuss over it. He asked if we needed water or wanted music on; little things, but thoughtful.

On the drive into town, streetlights flickered past and I tried to spot the Red Sea through the window (no luck at night). There were families out walking even though it was late — kids laughing somewhere nearby as we passed a bakery still open, that sweet bread smell mixing with the night air. Our guide pointed out a couple of landmarks I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. It wasn’t flashy or anything, but there’s something reassuring about being met by someone who knows exactly where you’re going — especially when you’re tired or maybe a bit nervous about arriving somewhere new. That first ride set the tone for the whole trip, honestly.
