If you really love saving money or want the true Egyptian experience, you can always take a microbus or Peugeot from any other city in the Delta.

How to get around in Mansoura

Mansoura is divided into two main sections: Hai Gharbaya and Hai Sharqia. The most convenient way to get around is by taxi. Within each section, expect to pay 2-3 LE for most journeys.

Local Customs in Mansoura

Mansoura is somewhat a conservative city and foreigners are not common. So, take care, mini skirts, shorts and skimpy tops will get you stared at twice as much as normal. Public drunkness is not welcomed by most of the conservative community. However, beverages are accepted by the less strict Muslims or Christians and are available at the two main hotels and a few restaurants.

Should you need a copy centre for print outs and the like, look for them at the University District.

Travel Next

The Gizirt El Ward Sports Club is where the upper classes of Mansoura spend their weekends. Again, just ask. It is known to everyone. The club is only worth visiting to get a better understanding of the culture and fashions. There is little to do there for the tourist. Entertainment venues are rare in Mansoura. Another activity could be a visit to an Ahwa (Cafe). This can be done more safely and with less hassle in Cairo however, where foreigners are not as much of a novelty.

Be aware that transportation can be an inconvenience owing to Mansoura being very crowded.
