Get a free consultationWhy Egypt
Egypt has one of the strongest, deepest engineering talent pools in MENA, with a large community of developers trained on modern stacks. You get the same quality as US or European agencies at a fraction of the cost — and none of the communication or timezone friction you get with far-flung outsourcing. It's the practical way to build a serious product on a startup budget.
Our team communicates fluently in both languages, so nothing gets lost in translation — whether you're in Cairo, the Gulf, Europe, or the US.
At GMT+2/+3 we share a full working day with Europe and the Gulf, and meaningful overlap with the US East Coast. Real-time collaboration, not overnight handoffs.
TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, React Native, Swift, and Kotlin — we use what's best for your product, not what's trendy.
Experienced developers who use AI throughout the workflow to ship faster — without cutting corners on quality or ownership.
How it works
Whether you need a whole product built or an extra pair of expert hands, we make hiring simple and flexible.
You have an idea. We scope it, design it, build it, and launch it — end-to-end, as one accountable team. Best when you want a partner to own delivery.
You already have a team. We add the capacity or specific skills you're missing, working inside your process and tools on a flexible monthly basis.

Questions, answered
Egyptian engineering rates are a fraction of US, UK, or Gulf agency rates for the same quality of work. Exact cost depends on seniority, team size, and engagement length. We share clear rates on a discovery call — no hidden fees, no long lock-in contracts.
Yes. Our team is fully fluent in English and Arabic, so communication is smooth whether you're in Cairo, the Gulf, Europe, or the US. Bilingual capability is one of the reasons clients choose an Egyptian studio.
Egypt is on GMT+2/+3, which overlaps a full working day with Europe, the Middle East, and the Gulf, and gives meaningful overlap with the US East Coast. You get real-time collaboration, not overnight handoffs.
With a full project build, you hand us an idea and we scope, design, build, and launch it end-to-end as one team. With team augmentation, you already have a team and we add the specific engineers or skills you're missing, working inside your process and tools.
TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js for web; React Native, Swift, and Kotlin for mobile; and PostgreSQL, cloud infrastructure, and AI integration across the board. We match engineers to your stack.
We stay flexible. We can work on a fixed-scope project, a monthly team-augmentation basis, or a short engagement to start. Tell us what you need and we'll propose the model that fits — you're not locked into a long contract.
