there is no minibus from soho, only a taxi about 6-7 dollars, from naam to the old city you can take a minibus for 1 Egyptian pound. to catch a minibus from soho there you will need to go to the main road (a thorough walk) and the minibus will cost 3 pounds to naam and to the old city

You can get by taxi. To the Old Town - 10 dollars, to Naama - 6. You can leave both cheaper and more expensive, bargain with taxi drivers. Another option is to go along with other tourists, it will be cheaper to pay for a car.

Many hotels have daily evening buses to Naama Bay and Old Town to Old Market.
Sometimes for money or free of charge ($1-2). Return time back, on the same bus, in 2-3 hours. As a rule, it is necessary to register in advance at the reception.
You can arrange with the driver of this bus to go to SOHO. If you are not 2 people, but 8-10 people, and you donate $ 1-3 to him, then he will certainly agree.
The bus schedule is at the reception in the hotel, if available.
You can also do it on your own. A minibus runs through Sharm El Sheikh - a blue minibus. The fare is £1 for locals and $1 for tourists. They can also ask for $ 3, how you bargain. How and where to take the minibus ask your guide at the hotel or at the reception. And it is better with our tourists, who always know everything. Every hotel has one.

Orbittours, of course, I did not mean Soho Square itself, but the hotel located next to it))). Tell me, please, when you reach the central road, are there stops there or do you just need to catch these minibuses? And where can I change dollars to pounds?

We were driving from our hotel near the Old Market for $15, we started haggling from $65.
We walked there for 3 hours, sentenced another 15 dollars. for the return journey, but no, the minibus immediately picked us up and took us to our hotel for 5 pounds (not dollars). Well, how to figure out the prices for a taxi from these Egyptians?
аватар dmitrieva17
That's it))), that's why I want to find out about minibuses, it's still cheaper to ride ... Galina50, where did you exchange dollars for pounds? Are there any identifying marks on these minibuses? Is it easy to find them?

Galina50, ''We were driving from our hotel near the Old Market for $15, we started bargaining from $65''- They asked you $65 from the Old Market to Soho???
What hotel did you have?

dmitrieva17, All minibuses are blue and white, they travel a lot along the highway, you can change $ for pounds in the old market, + you will probably have an ATM at the hotel. Dollar exchange rate today 6.63

Get to the main road, which is opposite the airport, get up from the side of the airport i.e. on the side against the SOHO sign and as Ira_charm explained to you, stop the blue minibuses. Say NAAMA or Old Market (without a task) cook 3 pounds per person and give money to the driver of the minibus when you exit. the driver will want to collect from you. (In the worst case, tourists pay $ 1 per person)

Thanks for answers. I understood correctly, the minibus stops just with a wave of the hand, as such there is no stop)))?
аватар hendo7
There is no stop. You will see a minibus, raise your hand.
аватар dmitrieva17
thank you hando7. Can you tell me where to change money at the airport?
аватар hendo7
You can change it at the airport when you buy a visa, ask for change in pounds. If you don’t buy a visa, in the window where you pay for a visa, you can drag a bill and ask to exchange it for pounds (a girl changed in front of me). Many hotels have terminals, where you can exchange money. In any shop they will give change in pounds. The rate was written above for you. In Egypt, exchanging dollars or euros for pounds is not a problem.

Irina_Sharm! The hotel was Delta Charm, or rather, it is a town with apartments.
аватар Galina50
Yes, the minibus always stops if you just come to the road. And I changed money in the bank and in the old market, and I ask you to give pounds for change from the dollar.
