£20. (thats 20 GBP)

Seemed to be the going rate for a taxi anywhere last time I flew there
(this summer) The money was taken by the "boss" then you had to tip the
taxi driver.

Since they have you by the short & curlys there isn't much room for
negotiation - even the dive guides I spoke with who spoke arabic had
trouble beating them down to under 130LE ...
