Thanks for the help never the less

My question is, is this reasonable from your experience, or would we be able to get it cheaper?

kind regards

That price does seem very high .... 'rip off' springs to mind. If it is just the two of you travelling I think I'd be inclined to take my chances and catch a cab on arrival at Hurghada airport.

try to contact your hotel to arrange a limo to collect you from airport about 130 egyptian pounds 120 to go back you will get to your hotel quicker

Do any of the El Gounans here know of any cheap way of getting back to Hurghada late at night?

What time do the buses finish and start the day?

Is there any way of getting a taxi back at reasonable (i.e. not El Gouna monopoly) rates?

Buses to Hurghada leave every 20 minutes at 00, 20 and 40 minutes after the hour. Service starts at 7am until midnight. Cost LE5 for tourists and LE2.5 for residents.

I use a Hurghada taxi and call him to pick me up.

Thanks for the info, Georgina. Looks like the bus is not going to be an option for partying in El Gouna then. Not too sure how easy it will be to call out a Hurghada taxi driver in the middle of the night as well.

I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and pay through the nost for an El Gouna taxi.

I use a guy called Marhair. Known him for years. He drives one of the metered taxis. His number is 0102797016. I usually give him around LE50 but maybe more if it is coming up to sunrise

I'll be at Du Port and Chirinquitos after marina party tonight
