Egypt's weekend is Friday and Saturday, and the city starts moving on Thursday afternoon: students travelling home, families heading to El-Mashaya and the Corniche, and visits and celebrations that run late. With Taxi Masr you see the meter fare before you request, the price does not rise with traffic, and rides between 10 pm and 6 am are shared automatically with your trusted contacts.
Taxi Masr's meter: EGP 20 to start + EGP 5 per km + EGP 0.50 per minute, a EGP 20 minimum, and 25% more from midnight to 5 am. The price is the same every day of the week, and the figures are approximate:
| Trip | Approx. distance / time | Meter before midnight | Midnight to 5 am |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short trip within the district | 2 km / 7 min | ≈ EGP 33.50 | ≈ EGP 41.88 |
| Family outing across the city | 4 km / 13 min | ≈ EGP 46.50 | ≈ EGP 58.13 |
| To the train station or Sandoub | 5 km / 15 min | ≈ EGP 52.50 | ≈ EGP 65.63 |
A captain may also send you an offer up to 20% below the meter, and the price you confirmed never goes up.
Weekend traffic runs in every direction: a captain who drops a family at El-Mashaya will often find a return request nearby. The commission is just 5% of the fare, and tips go to the captain in full.
No. The price is the same every day of the week and there is no surge. The only increase is 25% from midnight to 5 am.
From the ride in the app, choose to split the fare and enter your friends' numbers (up to 5); it is divided equally.
Add them as trusted contacts and enable night rides for them, so your rides between 10 pm and 6 am are shared automatically; you can also share any ride manually at any time.
Schedule the ride the night before. If your plans change, cancel it, which is free before a captain accepts, and schedule a new one.
Thursday outings, Friday visits and Saturday travel, with a clear price before you get in. Download the Taxi Masr app.
