Egypt-specific requirements to plan for

Payment methods customers in Egypt expect: Fawry, Paymob, InstaPay, Meeza cards, Vodafone Cash and valU.
Interface and content languages: Arabic and English, with proper right-to-left (RTL) layouts.

Working hours: India ↔ Egypt

Egypt is on UTC+2 / UTC+3 (seasonal). IST is 2 h 30 min – 3 h 30 min ahead. That leaves roughly 6.5 hours of overlap with a 9-to-6 working day. A daily call at 08:00–11:00 your time (11:30–14:30 IST) works year-round. Between calls you get written updates and a staging link that shows the latest build.
