How to get a taxi from Hurghada airport without a working bank card?

You can ask the hotel reception to call a taxi for you — a handy option if you don't have a local SIM card or app.

Taxis in Hurghada can be paid for in US dollars — drivers generally accept foreign currency.

Install the InDrive app and book a taxi through it — hailing a cab on the street will cost more. An internet connection is required to use the app.

ABC Taxi is worth trying — reportedly cheaper than booking through tourist websites.

When booking a taxi online, the app may show card payment as an option, but drivers often switch to cash payment in practice — always have local currency on hand.

Exit the terminal and walk to the second barrier — that's where taxis wait. Agree on the fare and the return pickup time right away. Payment is made in cash on the return trip.

If your bank card doesn't work, ask someone at the airport to book a Yandex taxi on your behalf and reimburse them in cash. This is a practical workaround if you don't have a local SIM card yet.
