Hurghada has its own international airport (HRG), so if your whole stay is there, flying into HRG saves you most of this drive. The transfer from RMF makes sense when a flight to Marsa Alam suits you better, or when you combine both coasts in one trip.

When this long transfer is the right choice

Open-jaw trips
You fly into Marsa Alam for a week of diving in the south and fly home from Hurghada, or the other way round. The ride links the two parts of the holiday.
Better flight times
From some European airports the RMF flight may be more convenient on your travel day than a flight to HRG. Weigh the four-hour drive against the time saved.

What you pass on the road north

  1. Port Ghalib and the northern resorts

    Just after the airport the car joins the coast road north, past scattered hotels with the Eastern Desert mountains inland.

  2. El Quseir

    After about 80 km you reach the old port town of El Quseir, roughly a third of the way.

  3. Safaga

    A working port town with a long bay, known for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The road continues north along the shore.

  4. Soma Bay, Makadi Bay and Sahl Hasheesh

    Large resort areas south of Hurghada. If your hotel is here, the transfer ends before the city.

  5. Hurghada

    The car enters the city from the south and drives straight to your hotel, whether it is on the long southern hotel strip or closer to the older centre.

Making a four-hour ride comfortable

Because the ride is private, you can ask the driver for a short break on the way, for example in Safaga. Bring water, something to eat and a layer for the air conditioning.

With children or a lot of luggage, a minivan gives room to stretch out. Child seats can be requested when booking, and dive or kite equipment must be declared so the right vehicle is sent. Keep passports handy for the routine checkpoints.

Frequently asked questions

How far is Hurghada from Marsa Alam Airport?

It is 229 km by road. The private transfer typically takes 203–254 minutes along the Red Sea coast road through El Quseir and Safaga.

Should I fly to Hurghada Airport instead?

If you are staying only in Hurghada and the flights suit you, HRG is much closer. The transfer from RMF is useful when flight times are better, or when you combine the southern coast and Hurghada in one trip.

How much does a transfer from RMF to Hurghada cost?

As an indication, a private car is usually around €110–150 and a minivan around €130–180. The exact price for your hotel and vehicle is shown before booking and does not change with traffic.

Can we stop on the way?

Yes, a short break can usually be arranged with the driver, as nobody else is in the car. Stops should be brief so the arrival time stays predictable.

My hotel is in El Gouna. Is that covered?

El Gouna lies north of Hurghada, so the drive is longer than to the city. Enter your hotel name when booking to see the correct price and time.
