Amazon.eg is Amazon's newest marketplace in the Middle East, having launched in Egypt in late 2025 as a successor to the Souq.com platform that Amazon had been operating in the region. Egypt is the most populous country in the Arab world, with over 100 million people, making it a significant market for e-commerce growth. The platform serves a young, increasingly connected population where smartphone-based shopping has been growing rapidly. The Egyptian marketplace is still in its early stages, building out its catalog and seller network. Currently, the platform carries a mix of products from local Egyptian sellers and international inventory available through Amazon's global shipping program. For collectors in Egypt, this represents a meaningful improvement over previous options — sourcing international collectibles in Egypt has traditionally been challenging, with limited specialty retail and high costs for individual international shipments. Product categories relevant to collectors include action figures, trading cards, board games, LEGO sets, and licensed merchandise from global brands. The local seller base is growing, with Egyptian businesses listing products that cater to regional interests. As the platform matures, the selection is expected to expand significantly. Amazon.eg delivers throughout Egypt, including Cairo, Alexandria, Giza, and other major cities. The platform operates in Arabic and English, with local payment options including cash on delivery — which remains an important payment method in Egypt. As Amazon's newest marketplace, Amazon.eg is still establishing its logistics and fulfillment infrastructure, but the scale of the Egyptian market and Amazon's stated investment commitment suggest it will develop rapidly.
