## What is SAWA | Intercity Carpooling?

The trip is already happening. The empty seat is waiting for you. 

SAWA is Egypt's intercity carpooling community — Cairo, Alexandria, Mansoura, Tanta and beyond. 

Every day, cars travel between Egyptian cities with empty seats. At the same time, other people are looking for a way to reach exactly the same place. One road, and neither knows the other is on it. 

SAWA connects people already driving their own car with people heading to the same destination at the same time — so a trip that was happening anyway can carry more than one person. 

Nothing is dispatched and no trip is created on demand. Every trip on SAWA is a journey someone was already making, with their empty seats offered to people going the same way. 

————————————
WHY SAWA 

The trip already exists 
 Offer the empty seats in your own journey, or find a trip heading to your destination. 

A smarter way to travel 
 Better use of a car that's already on the road, with the cost fairly divided. 

You decide 
 Optional ID verification, ratings and reviews, and women-only trips. The choice stays yours. 

Built for Egypt 
 City to city — Cairo, Alexandria, Mansoura, Tanta and more. Built around the journeys Egyptians actually make. 

Less traffic, more value 
 Every seat filled means one less car making the same trip. Lighter roads, less fuel, better use of the cars already out there. 

————————————
 FEATURES 

Post your intercity trip in seconds 
 Search and reserve a seat on a trip heading your way 
 Full trip details before you decide 
 Optional ID verification 
 Ratings and reviews 
 QR code trip confirmation 
 Stops along the route

 Women-only trips 
 In-app chat to arrange your trip 
 Alerts for new trips on your route 

————————————
HOW IT WORKS 

Post your trip — driving your own car? Set your route, your time, and your empty seats. 

Reserve your seat — going the same way? Find a trip heading to your destination and take a seat. 

Meet and go — agree on the details, meet at the starting point, and travel together.

Same road? Let's travel SAWA.
