Private car with Driver Cairo - Hurghada

[Xterra]

Does anyone know how to book a private car with Driver to get from my Cairo Hotel to Hurghada resort, I hate flying, also we are a family of 3 so a car may make more sense financially. Thanks for any recommendations

Here is what i have (was researching anyway...):
For private transfer have a look here. They state 5 h and about 200 USD.
Egypt Air Flight from CAI to HRG = 1 h and 60 USD
GoBus Egypt from Cairo(Tahir) to Hurghada = 7 h and 13 USD in Aero First Class (incl. drinks, food, ...).
My gut feeling say that the journey is safer in a bus than in car or a van.
Curious to hear how others would do that trip.

I just finished researching that trip in reverse. We will be flying.

Email your selected Hurghada resort, and they may have a recommendation or direct contact for your transportation needs. Although not as far of a drive as you are contemplating, when we stayed at Ft. Arabesque, the resort's concierge arranged travel for my wife and I between the resort and Luxor, which was just about a four hour drive, including a checkpoint and pit stop. I don't remember the cost, but did not think it unreasonable for a private van for just the two of us.

Your country’s embassy in Cairo will very likely provide you an excellent starting list. They may even offer a discount you’d find difficult to match or beat.

Not sure if the embassy will be keen to act as a travel agency or a broker for private transit.

Within Hurghada/Safaga I have used Hurghada Drivers and they have always seemed very good. On their website they quote 150USD for a one way journey to Cairo. I would guess they would use a minivan rather than a car.

thanks all, I used Hurghadadrivers, great experience with them. (they organized the trip in a private car from Cairo to Hurghada (actually sent the driver from Hurghada) I also used them for a trip from Hurghada to Luxor and Aswan
Also for anybody inside Cairo or Hurghada, the Uber App works well (just select pay cash) and is a CHEAP way to move around Cairo and Hurghada. I grew tired quite quickly haggling with Taxi drivers.
