Egyptian Address System

Egypt uses a 5-digit postal code system managed by Egypt Post. The country is divided into 27 governorates (muhafazat), with Cairo and Giza being the most populous. Egyptian addresses typically include building number, street name, district or area, city, governorate, and postal code. Addresses are written in both Arabic and English for international purposes.

Many Egyptian addresses rely on landmark references because street naming and numbering can be inconsistent, especially in older neighborhoods. The "Hay" (district) is an important routing component. Cairo alone has dozens of districts, each with distinct postal codes.

E-Commerce and Delivery

Egypt's e-commerce market is the largest in North Africa and growing rapidly. Address testing requires bilingual support (Arabic and English), integration with Egypt Post and private carriers like Aramex, Bosta, and MylerZ. Cash on delivery dominates Egyptian e-commerce (over 60% of transactions), making accurate delivery addresses critical. Address validation is challenging due to informal settlements and rapidly expanding urban areas where addresses may not yet be registered in official postal databases.
