Taxi on El-Teraa Street and Meshaal Square, Mansoura: Booking and Meter Fares 2026

El-Teraa Street (officially Al-Kholafaa El-Rashedeen Street) and Meshaal Square are among the busiest parts of West Mansoura: shops, restaurants, clinics, imaging centres, and homes for students and families. In that traffic, flagging down an empty taxi is hard, and some street drivers name a flat price instead of using the meter. With Taxi Masr you set your pickup on the map, see the meter price before you request, and a licensed taxi comes to you. A short trip (about 2 km) costs about 33.50 EGP in the daytime.

Where are El-Teraa Street and Meshaal Square?

• El-Teraa Street: a busy shopping street in West Mansoura district, running towards Gehan Street and the Mansoura University area, with numbered residential side streets off it.
• Meshaal Square: one of Mansoura’s well-known squares, in West Mansoura near Port Said Street and El-Shaab Club, surrounded by the Masaken Meshaal housing area, clinics and medical centres.
• Nearby: Gehan Street, Abdel Salam Aref Street and El-Galaa, and from there the university, the Mashaya and the train station.

Why book from the app on El-Teraa and at Meshaal?

• A crowded shopping street: waiting on the kerb between shops and parked cars is tiring, especially with shopping bags or children.
• Side streets: many homes are on side streets away from the main road, and the app brings the captain to the pin you set.
• A known price: the Taxi Masr meter price shows before you request and does not rise after you confirm, so there is no haggling over a short trip to the university or the square.
• Evenings and nights: shopping and restaurants stay busy late, and rides from 10 pm to 6 am are shared automatically with the trusted contacts you switched night rides on for.

How to set your pickup on El-Teraa Street

1. Turn on location (GPS) and put the pin on the building or shop entrance, not in the middle of the street.
2. If the main street is jammed, pick a nearby side-street corner where a taxi can stop safely.
3. At Meshaal Square, don’t drop the pin inside the square itself; choose the pavement of the street you will leave from.
4. If the captain can’t find you, message them in the in-app chat with a landmark (a pharmacy or a well-known shop).
5. Match the captain’s name, plate number and car colour before you get in.

Example meter fares from El-Teraa and Meshaal

The Taxi Masr meter: 20 EGP flag fall + 5 EGP per km + 0.50 EGP per minute, a 20 EGP minimum, and 25% more from midnight to 5 am. Distances and times are approximate; the exact price for your route shows in the app before you request:

A captain may also send you an offer below the meter, up to 20% off, and the price you confirmed never goes up.

Taxi to Mansoura Chest Hospital

Mansoura Chest Hospital serves chest patients from Mansoura and the towns of Dakahlia. Address directories place it on Chest Hospital Street, a side street off Al-Kholafaa El-Rashedeen (El-Teraa) Street, next to Mansoura Fever Hospital, in the middle of the area this guide covers.

• Type “Mansoura Chest Hospital” in the destination box and pick it from the search results rather than dropping the pin on El-Teraa Street in general, so the taxi drops you at the entrance.
• From inside the El-Teraa and Meshaal area the trip is usually short: a trip of about 2 km costs around 33.50 EGP in the daytime. From further away, see the example fares above; the exact price is shown in the app before you request.
• If you are booking for a patient or a parent, use “book for someone else” and enter their name and number so the captain can contact them, and share the live trip link to keep an eye on the ride.
• If air conditioning or open windows matter to the patient, set the AC preference when you request and ask the captain in the chat after they accept.
• Visits can run long, so request the return ride from the hospital door when you finish, rather than a long stop within a single trip.

Features that help on El-Teraa and around Meshaal

• Up to 5 stops: from home to a pharmacy or supermarket and then to a relative nearby, in one ride priced on the whole route.
• No hunting for change: cash for the amount shown, InstaPay to the Taxi Masr account from the payment screen, or a card on a POS terminal if the captain carries one.
• Scheduling: for a morning lecture or an early train, schedule the ride; you get a reminder 15 minutes before, and the search for a captain starts about 10 minutes before.
• Safety: the SOS button for the whole trip, and you can share a tracking link manually at any time.
