Sobre Hurghada International Airport

Hurghada International Airport (HRG) is the airport for Hurghada and the resorts of Egypt's Red Sea coast, from El Gouna in the north to Sahl Hasheesh, Makadi Bay and Soma Bay in the south. It is Egypt's second-busiest airport after Cairo and handled about 9.6 million passengers in 2024.

Most flights are international and many are seasonal or charter. Air Cairo has the largest network, linking Hurghada with Cairo, Luxor and cities across Germany, Italy and Central Europe. Condor, TUI fly, Eurowings, easyJet, TUI Airways, Transavia, Wizz Air, Norwegian and Edelweiss bring travelers from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Scandinavia and Switzerland, while Egyptair flies to Cairo and Aeroflot, AJet, Pegasus, Saudia and Flynas connect Hurghada with Russia, Istanbul and Saudi Arabia.

The airport has two separate terminal buildings, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and two parallel runways.

It stands inland, about 5 km (3 miles) southwest of El Dahar, Hurghada's old town center. The hotels along Sheraton Road, Sekalla and the Village Road strip are a short drive away, El Gouna is about 30 to 35 minutes north, and Makadi Bay and Soma Bay lie about 25 to 45 minutes south along the coast road.

Consejos de llegada a Hurghada International Airport

Most travelers need a visa for Egypt. If you have not got an e-Visa in advance, buy a visa-on-arrival sticker at the bank counters in the arrivals hall before you join the passport control line; the same counters change money.

At passport control, show your passport with the visa. Lines can be long when several charter flights land together, so keep your passport, visa and hotel address at hand.

After passport control, collect your bags at baggage claim and pass through customs. Drones need a permit in Egypt, so leave them at home unless you have one.

Only travelers may enter the terminal, so drivers, hotel staff and tour representatives wait outside the arrivals exit. Taxis wait at the curb, and ride-hailing pickups are arranged in the app. If someone offers you a ride or help with your bags, a firm "no, thank you" is enough.

Egypt uses the Egyptian pound and is on Eastern European Time.

Transporte terrestre

A pre-booked transfer or a hotel transfer suits most travelers, since the resorts are spread along the coast.

  • Taxi from Hurghada airport

    Taxis wait at the curb outside arrivals. Agree the fare before you get in, as meters are rarely used, and the ride to central Hurghada takes about 15 minutes.

  • Uber

    Uber operates at Hurghada airport and can be reserved for your landing time. Waits can be longer at night and during busy charter arrivals.

  • Hotel and tour operator transfers

    Many package travelers are met by their tour operator or hotel outside the arrivals exit, often on a shared coach that stops at several hotels.

  • Private transfer

    A pre-booked driver meets you outside the arrivals exit and drives you straight to your hotel in Hurghada, El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh or Soma Bay.

  • Car rental

    International and local car rental companies serve the airport. Driving is easiest on the main coast road; city traffic in Hurghada can be hectic.

Cómo moverse entre terminales

  1. Taxi

    A taxi from the curb outside either terminal is the simplest way across, especially with luggage.

  2. Walking

    You can walk between the buildings along the airport roads, but it is a long walk outside in the heat and not practical with bags.
