Getting from Sharm el-Sheikh into Sharm el-Sheikh

Naama Bay is 15 minutes from the airport and Sharks Bay 10. Most hotels include a transfer; a taxi is £8–£12 and should be agreed before you get in.

When to go

  • Best months: March to May, October and November
  • Cheapest months: January and February, still 22–24°C
  • Avoid: July and August, when it is 38°C and the reef is busiest

Before you book

  • Low-cost carriers sell the seat and charge for the bag. With a 20 kg case at £25–£45 each way, the total is rarely the fare you first saw.
  • Landing after 22:00? Sort the transfer in advance; buses thin out and the taxi rank carries the markup.
  • Package protection is not automatic. Separate bookings mean separate protection: check what ATOL cover each seller actually gives you.
