Celebrities are surprising Uber riders all over Cairo, by turning up as drivers. Mahmoud El Esseily was accepting rider requests last week, entertaining his passengers by playing road games, sharing stories, calling friends, singing together, and more.

All of this was a part of Tayarah’s first episode of the new hit online show “3ala Fein ya Negm?”.

“At Uber, we want to use our technology to provide experiences and thought why not give our riders something to really remember, at the push of a button,” said Anthony Khoury, Uber Egypt GM.
