Bus or taxis to get to the Three Pools site

We’ll be in Dahab again this October—we’ve been going since 1979—to freedive. In 2025, to our surprise, access to the Blue Hole is now paid: on top of the 10 € taxi fare, you have to pay $10 per person to enter the park. So we’re heading outside Dahab to the Three Pools site by bike, rented locally. Is there a bus that goes there, or shared taxis, instead of the tourist taxis? And where can we catch them? We’ve seen big buses full of local families on the site, but we don’t know where to find them. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, To get there, it’s about 30 minutes from the city center, either by taxi, the "Bedouin pick-ups or shared taxis"—you can usually flag them down like in Luxor and check their direction—or by bike, though the road isn’t paved everywhere. Quick heads-up: you know Dahab’s Blue Hole is the deadliest in the world.
