1. The Cairo Taxi Rate Explained Simply

Officially Set

The Cairo taxi rate was officially set on 1 mars 2024. Taxi tariffs in Egypt are officially set by cities or districts. The taxi tariff Cairo was last set in mars 2024 and published in the official tariff ordinance. It is binding for all taxis and taxi companies within the compulsory driving area and may not be exceeded or undercut. This is ensured by officially calibrated taximeters installed in the taxis.

How the fare is made up under the Cairo taxi rate:

The Kairo taxi tariff sets clear and simple rules for calculating the cost of a taxi ride. When you enter a taxi, a base fare of 8.50 EGP is charged. This base fare covers the first 1.00 kilometer of your journey.

After the first 1.00 kilometer, you will pay an additional 4.00 EGP for each kilometer traveled beyond the initial distance. The price per kilometer remains the same for all further distances within the same trip.

There is no additional charge for waiting time during your ride, as the Kairo taxi tariff indicates that waiting time per hour is 0.00 EGP. This means you only pay for the distance traveled, not the time spent waiting in traffic or at stoplights.

The total cost of your taxi ride is calculated by adding the base fare to the charges for any additional kilometers. This straightforward system helps passengers easily understand how the final fare is determined before and during their journey.
