Good to know
Do I need a visa?
If you fly into Sharm El Sheikh, stay 15 days or less and remain in the South Sinai resorts (Sharm, Dahab, Nuweiba, Taba), you can get a free Sinai-only entry stamp. For trips to Cairo, Luxor or Hurghada, or longer stays, you need the full visa: apply online before you travel on the official portal visa2egypt.gov.eg (card payment, no airport queue) or buy it on arrival in cash. In 2026 both cost US$30 for a single entry. Check the official rules for your passport.
How do I find my driver?
The driver usually waits outside the arrivals exit with a sign showing your name. Your booking confirmation has the exact meeting point and the driver's phone number.
Can I just take a taxi at the airport?
Yes, licensed taxis wait outside the terminal, but fares are often agreed on the spot. A pre-booked transfer fixes the price in advance, including waiting time if your flight is late.
Should I tip the driver?
Tipping is customary in Egypt and appreciated. Some transfer operators quote an all-in price that already includes the driver's tip and say so clearly in the booking; in that case no extra tip is expected. Otherwise, keep a few small notes ready.
