The distance between Cairo to Sharm is approximately 520 km. The road is fairly simple.
From Cairo, you first need to get onto to Suez road. You can approach the Suez road, either through Maadi /Katameya road or through Nasr City. Once you get onto the Suez road and reach the entrance to the Suez protectorate, take a U-turn to reach the Ahmed Hanafi Tunnel, which snakes under the Suez Canal, connecting the town of Suez to the Sinai peninsula-in a way connecting the African mainland to Asia.
On exiting the tunnel, keep to the right and get onto the Cairo Sharm highway. There is a signpost here to guide you. Then it is a fairly straight road till you reach Sharm

From Cairo, it is approximately a six-hour journey, depending on the number and the length of your stops for WC and benzene. Fill up on gas whenever you see a petrol station. Though there are petrol stations on the way, you might not find one when you need it.
The drive is through some beautiful landscape. It is fascinating to watch the play of sun over the sea and the mountains.
