How can you use public transport on vacation? What is the best solution for you if you want to move around the city? How can you understand the timetable of the buses and seats? How do I use a taxi?
You can take the bus to the market, marina, aquarium or shopping centers (Senzo Mall, Hurghada City Center). If you are confused about the buses, everyone at the bus “station” (if we can call it like this, maybe “bus stop” sounds more accurate) will tell you which bus to take. It is enough to mention the desired area - Dahar, Sakala, Kawther, Sherry, Magawish ...
App
It is very convenient to order your taxi by phone - there are some companies that work beyond that and you can order your trip through the app. Egypt is pretty good covered via Uber, Careem and eventually InDrive. You can get clear picture about price for distance when checking with those.

All you need is a car - or any vehicle - and people who are interested in getting anywhere.Today we will talk briefly about how you can use public transportation in the city.

Microbus
In Hurghada, most of the traffic is through white microbuses. They have primary outstations and circle in a way. There is no schedule, you just sit and wait for the bus to be full and then move.

Taxi
If you want to get to your place faster and need to take a taxi, you have a choice. In the streets of Hurghada you will find an orange and blue city taxi that you can take anywhere. If you are using the orange taxi, please make a note of the number on the door. It helps you identify the car if there are problems, if you leave something in the car etc.The taxis are equipped with the taximeter, but only a few drivers actually use them. You can't rely on it, and it's better to trade the price before actually getting in the car. It is worth noting that you have small banknotes with you, preferably Egyptian pounds.
There is always option of private city transportation.
