EG
Egypt
A market of volume, not price — won on cost per acquisition rather than budget size.
The problem
Egypt rewards efficiency in a way the Gulf does not. Clicks are inexpensive, competition in most categories is moderate, and a modest budget can generate real volume. The trap is that cheap traffic makes weak targeting invisible: cost per lead looks excellent while lead quality quietly collapses, and nobody notices until the sales team stops calling.
Precision
How the work actually runs.
Optimise for quality, not cost
With traffic this affordable, the discipline has to come from qualification rather than from budget pressure.
Write in Egyptian Arabic
Not Modern Standard, and not Gulf phrasing. The difference is measurable in click-through rate.
Instrument WhatsApp first
It is the default contact channel here, and the one most commonly left untracked.
Watch the currency
Budgets set in local currency drift against ad costs priced in dollars, and quarterly re-basing avoids the surprise.
Evidence
Measured in the client’s own systems.
Questions
Answered before you ask.
How much budget do we need to start in Egypt?
Meaningfully less than the Gulf — often a third for comparable volume. The floor is set by the data needed to optimise, not by the traffic price.
Should we advertise in Arabic or English?
Arabic for reach and cost, English for certain premium and expatriate segments. Most accounts need both, structured separately rather than mixed.
