Taxi From Mansoura to Gamasa: How to Plan the Trip and Work Out the Cost

A taxi ride from Mansoura to Gamasa is about 55 km and takes around an hour. On Taxi Masr's official meter its estimated fare is about EGP 325 during the day, and a captain may offer you less with a discount of up to 20%. The final price depends on where you start and where in Gamasa you are going, and it is shown in the app before you request.

How is the fare calculated?

The tariff is the same inside and outside the city: a EGP 20 flag fall, EGP 5 per kilometre and 50 piastres per minute. For 55 km in 60 minutes the sum is: 20 + (55 × 5) + (60 × 0.50) = EGP 325.

These are illustrative figures. If your destination is on the edge of Gamasa or the road is slower than usual, the distance or duration changes and so does the price. The reference is always the price shown for your route in the app.

What you need to know about the return trip

The service currently runs in Mansoura and its surroundings, and the pickup point must be inside the service area. So if you are spending a few hours in Gamasa and coming back, arrange your return before you leave, or use transport available there to get back.

Prepare the trip before you request

1. Set the destination precisely: Enter the hotel, street or place in Gamasa rather than just "Gamasa", because the fare is calculated on the actual route.
2. Add stops from the start: If you will stop somewhere on the way, add it as a stop (up to 5) so it is included in the price.
3. Review the offers: Compare the price with the captain's rating and the car details, especially on a long trip.
4. Choose how to pay: Decide in advance how you will pay, especially on a long trip.
5. Charge your phone: You will need it to follow the ride on the map.

Travelling at night? Turn on sharing

Between 10 pm and 6 am the app automatically shares your ride with the trusted contacts you have enabled for this, so they can follow your location until you arrive. The SOS emergency button is available to you during the ride.

Taxi or microbus to Gamasa?

Shared transport is cheaper per person and suits anyone happy to wait and get off at a fixed stop. A taxi suits a family or group splitting the fare, anyone with luggage, or anyone who needs to reach the door of a specific place at a specific time.
