Getting from Mansoura Train Station to the Medical Complex and the University

A taxi from Mansoura railway station to Mansoura University or the Medical Complex usually takes 12 to 16 minutes over roughly 4 to 5 km, depending on your destination and the traffic, and costs about EGP 45 to 55 on the official daytime meter. In the Taxi Masr app you know the price before you get in, with no haggling — and a captain may offer you a discount of up to 20%.

Every day, Mansoura railway station receives thousands of students, visitors and patients arriving from other governorates on their way to Mansoura University and the Medical Complex hospitals. This guide gives you a safe way to get there with a clear cost.
