The best way to book a safe taxi in Mansoura is the Taxi Masr app, which lets passengers request modern, official taxis within minutes, with no waiting on the street and no negotiating the price. The app shows the approved meter fare (EGP 20 flag fall + EGP 5 per km + 50 piastres per minute) before you confirm, offers a range of payment options such as cash, InstaPay and bank cards, and includes an SOS button and live trip tracking.

Mansoura is the capital of Dakahlia Governorate and a vital centre of education, commerce and medical services in the Delta. Its main streets, such as Gihan Street, Lower El-Mashaya, El-Abbasi and Suez Canal Street, carry heavy traffic every day, which makes comfortable, reliable transport essential for residents, visitors and students.

The traditional transport problem on Mansoura's streets

People getting around Mansoura and neighbouring Talkha face the same challenges every day when looking for a ride:

  • Hard to find a free taxi: especially at the morning rush and when colleges and schools let out.
  • Long waits in the sun or rain: standing at the edge of busy roads watching for an empty taxi.
  • Arguing over the destination and price: some drivers refuse to go to certain areas or demand inflated fares.

These problems call for a technology solution that connects the passenger automatically and efficiently with the fleet of licensed taxis nearby.

The fleet available through the app covers all the main districts and areas of Mansoura and its suburbs:
