Hello all.
I'm new to ScubaBoard, but have already gotten lots of info here.
I have need of advise from some Sharm locals/experts.
I will be traveling in the Middle East in July. I will be visiting family in Jerusalem then driving with them down to Eilat to walk across to Taba. That part is easy. They have done it many times before. Now, we want to get to Sharm to board our liveaboard for a great week of diving. We have been told it is easy to get a taxi to Sharm from Taba. But, there seems to be no way for my family to set up the transportation ahead of time. They keep being told it is for security reasons.
My question is, Is it normal to show up in Taba and hire a taxi to Sharm with no reservations? How much should it cost? (there will be 4 of us 2 divers, 2 non divers)
And, about how long is the drive (time)?
Thanks very much,
Jamie
