Sharm el-Sheikh International Airport (SSH) is the third busiest in Egypt and the main gateway to Egypt's southern Sinai Peninsula. Boasting modern facilities, the airport promises a warm welcome to Sharm el-Sheikh and a comfortable start to your holiday.

Car Rental Stations at the Airport

Several major car rental companies have offices located in the terminal buildings. It's advisable to book your rental car in advance to ensure availability, particularly during peak holiday seasons.

Car Class Recommendations

We recommend opting for a compact or economy class car for city drives. However, if you're planning to explore farther, consider a comfortable SUV that can handle different terrains.

Driving in Sharm el-Sheikh

While the rules of road in Egypt are fairly similar to UK, the driving style might be a bit different. Therefore, staying patient and vigilant is key. Also, locals are known to use their car horns liberally, don’t be caught off-guard.
