Depending on where and where you will go, but in a taxi you can bargain very well.
We have just returned from Sharm, we had the most extreme hotel in Nabka, and so we went by minibus to Naama Bay for 10 pounds, by taxi back and forth, plus an hour and a half, we were waiting for a taxi to Naama - for 10 dollars

Bus fares are fixed. At some stops there are signs with fares.

Thanks! I read that minibuses do not take tourists as willingly as local workers, and despite fixed prices, they raise them for vacationers.
How much can a taxi driver charge per person if you go for example from Faraana Reef Resort to the Old Town (~10 km), or to the same Old Market (~ 2km)? Or how much from Faraan to Soho Square (~ 22 km)?
In general, we plan to travel with three of us (Will it turn out to be more expensive for three in total, or does it not matter?)

QUIET, do not listen to such legends and myths about minibuses, normally they carry tourists, the main thing is not to forget the mask, there are a lot of police, the driver will be fined if anything.

Taxi drivers deliberately begin to bargain with an amount two to two and a half times higher than usual.

QUIET, Faraana Reef Resort to Old Town (~10 km) - what is this Old Town? You can go down to the Old Market from Faraana in 10-15 minutes. Climbing uphill is more convenient by taxi, especially if loaded with fruit, maximum - 15-20 Egyptian pounds.

Fancase - Old City - the one opposite Naama Bay.
Yes, it is more logical to walk to the market on foot. I'm just trying to build a scheme with prices in my head - about how much per kilometer it turns out :)
About masks - I hope taxi drivers / minibuses pull them on their noses :D

In my experience, it was enough for us to go once to see Naama and Soho.
Naama was not impressed at all, well, if someone likes to hang out in Egyptian cafes,
All other hikes / trips are the Old Market and shops in Hadaba.
Keep in mind that many shops and cafes are closed due to quarantine.

Old Town is Old Market
This meant the old town in the Naama Bay area (the oldest area). On Google maps, this place is designated as Old City.
And the Old Market, despite its name, is more new than old (the buildings around this market were built decades ago). The Old Market is stylized as the architecture of ancient Egypt.

Disappointing, not in Naama, not in the Old Market - the Old City ...
Sharm began to be built up in the 60s of the 20th century.
And excursions to the desert to the "Bedouins" - a scam of tourists ...

QUIET, look at the information on the internet. The old city is located in the bay of Sharm El Maya. And the Old Market is one of its attractions.

Fancase, I agree, it was better to talk about Naama Bay from the very beginning. Indeed, they are not all old - it turned out to be a confusion. When I asked a question, I was guided only by the fact that I was given a Google map.
super.mila2905, Information on the Internet is different. Naama bay is the oldest area, and there is a shopping center "Old City" and the Old Market is simply called old. Yes, many sources say that the Old Market is located in the "old town", but this is clearly an informal name that is convenient for people to use, and it has nothing to do with maps. So I do not agree that it is correct to say that the "old city" is exactly where the Old Market is.
I prefer to refer to places by their official names to avoid misunderstandings.
