Amazon Egypt PPC Guide

Amazon Egypt (amazon.eg) opened when Amazon converted the Egyptian Souq.com storefront into a full Amazon marketplace. It trades in Egyptian pounds and serves shoppers in both Arabic and English, and the site can be browsed in either language. Which language a shopper types into the search bar is the first thing that shapes a keyword plan here, and it is where campaign structures imported from an English language catalogue usually fall over.

Amazon's Egyptian seller advertising guidance covers Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Stores. Sponsored Brands and Stores both require enrolment in Brand Registry, and Sponsored Products requires the product to be eligible for Featured Offer placement, so a reseller who loses the Featured Offer stops serving entirely rather than serving at a worse rate. There is also an account level gate specific to Egypt: Amazon states that a verified Tax Registration Number is required to keep the account active and to run ads on the marketplace. Sort that before you build campaigns, not after the first ones fail to deliver.

Structurally, Egypt sits outside the European group. It is not an EU marketplace, so Pan-European FBA, the European unified account and EU VAT reporting do not extend to it. You register separately through the Egyptian seller portal with local identity or commercial registration documents and a bank account Amazon can pay proceeds into, and you place stock in local fulfilment rather than routing it from a European pool. Treat Egypt as a standalone market with its own pricing, its own inventory and its own calendar, not as an extra country switched on inside an existing European setup.
