Also, going by bus is a possible option; however, it could take from 7 to 8 hours driving due to many security checkpoints stationed along the road to make sure the road is safe and secured.
Nowadays, Sharm is considered a safe and secure city; a significant effort had been made by the police and military forces to contain the terrorist threats in Sinai, and this effort had led to success.
