TL;DR
Most travelers in Sharm El Sheikh use hotel taxis or inDrive: expect roughly 150–300 EGP one way to Old Market, Al Sahaba Mosque, or Farsha Café, about 100–250 EGP to Naama Bay, and around 100–250 EGP to the Sharm museum depending on your hotel area. Local minibuses are cheaper, usually about 5–10 EGP per person, but they run on main roads so you may need to walk out to the hotel gate or roadside.
For trips to Old Market and the fish market, travelers usually take a regular taxi from the hotel. A reasonable fare is commonly around 150–300 EGP one way from tourist areas such as Nabq, Sharks Bay, or Soho.
Most people go to Farsha Café and Al Sahaba Mosque by taxi, since both are in the Hadaba/Old Market area and it is easier in the evening. A typical fare is around 150–300 EGP per car one way, and for the return trip it is better to pre-arrange a driver or book through an app.
If you are heading to the Sharm museum, a taxi usually costs about 100–250 EGP depending on your hotel location. The museum is not in Old Market, so the fare can be lower if you stay closer to Naama Bay or the central part of town.
Many travelers use inDrive for trips to Naama Bay because you can see the fare in advance and book a return car more easily. A city ride in that direction often falls in the 100–250 EGP range depending on distance and time of day.
There are local minibuses in Sharm, but they usually do not enter hotel grounds and run along the main road. To reach Old Market by minibus, you normally walk out to the roadside first; the fare is often around 5–10 EGP per person.
