Hurghada is one of Egypt's most popular Red Sea resort destinations and a year-round favourite for UK sun-seekers. The airport sits right on the edge of the resort strip, meaning most hotels are 10–30 minutes away. But the transfer situation needs careful navigation — negotiating with unmarked taxis outside an Egyptian airport at midnight is not the experience you want after a long flight.

🏆 Sento Golden Tip: Hurghada Airport has a well-known problem with aggressive unofficial taxi drivers outside the terminal. They may claim your pre-booked driver 'didn't come' or that 'the company has closed' — do not believe them. Your pre-booked Holiday Extras driver will be inside arrivals with your name. Walk past everyone outside and look for your name board.

Terminal Guide: Hurghada International Airport (HRG)

Hurghada Airport has two terminal buildings (old and new). Most international flights from the UK arrive at the newer terminal. Pre-booked transfer drivers meet you inside the arrivals hall with name boards. Always walk to your name board — do not engage with anyone who approaches you unprompted outside the terminal.
