Taxi From Mansoura to New Mansoura: Fare and How to Book in 2026

New Mansoura is about 55 km from Mansoura, and the taxi ride takes around an hour. On Taxi Masr's meter the estimated fare is about EGP 325 during the day for the whole car, and a captain may offer you less with a discount of up to 20%. If classmates ride with you, you split the fare. The final price for your route appears in the app before you request.

Every day students and staff head to New Mansoura University, along with employees and visitors to the city and its corniche. This guide explains how the fare is calculated, how to make the trip cheaper, and what you need to plan before you go.

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. New Mansoura is spread out, so the distance to the university differs from the distance to the residential districts or the corniche, and the duration changes with traffic. 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 your day at the university or in the city ends with a trip back to Mansoura, arrange your return in advance, or use the transport available there to get back.

A cheaper trip: splitting the fare with classmates

The price shown is for the whole car, not per person. If four of you are heading to the university at the same time, each share is about EGP 81 during the day, and less if you accept a discounted offer.

1. Agree on one pickup point: or add your classmates' homes as stops on the way (up to 5 stops) so the price covers the whole route.
2. Set the destination precisely: enter the faculty, the gate or the district rather than just “New Mansoura”, because the fare is calculated on the actual route.
3. Split the fare in the app: you can send an equal fare-split request to your classmates' numbers (up to 5).
4. Pay the easiest way: cash for the amount shown in the app, an InstaPay transfer, or your card on a POS terminal if the captain carries one. In-app card payment is being activated.

First lecture in the morning? Book ahead

If your time is fixed, schedule the ride for a specific day and time instead of requesting at the last minute, and leave a margin for traffic on the road, especially on weekday mornings and during exams.

Before you get in: match the captain and the car

Before you open the car door, match the captain's name, the plate number and the car's colour and model with what the app shows. Do not accept a verbal change to the price or the destination; the price that counts is the one on the ride screen. On a long trip, choose the captain by their rating, not just the price of the offer.

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 on the map until you arrive. The SOS emergency button is available to you throughout the ride.

Taxi or microbus to New Mansoura?

A microbus is cheaper per person and suits anyone happy to wait until it fills up and then get off at a stop that may need another ride after it. A taxi suits a group sharing the fare, anyone with bags or equipment, or anyone who needs to reach the door of the faculty or home at a set time.
