Egypt has mandatory social insurance (around 18.75% employer), labour law that’s strictly applied, and end-of-service rules that catch people off guard. The best EORs for Egypt handle all of that and give you a clear cost in EGP or equivalent. Here’s the 2026 shortlist.

1. Deel: Direct or strong partner presence in Egypt; social insurance and labour compliance in place. Onboarding typically 1–3 weeks. Premium pricing. Best when you need certainty and can pay for it. Good for tech and international teams expanding into MENA. Confirm end-of-service and termination handling.

2. Remote: Similar Egypt coverage; compliant setup. Often competitive with Deel on price. Worth a direct quote. Good for companies that want one platform across multiple regions including North Africa. Check EGP payout and FX if you’re invoiced in USD.

3. Multiplier: Usually the best value for Egypt among global EORs. Lower cost per employee. Confirm they use a proper local entity and that social insurance and labour contracts are correct. Best when you’re hiring a few people and want to control cost. Verify end-of-service indemnity is calculated and funded correctly.

4. Oyster HR: Egypt in their footprint; good if you’re already using Oyster for global teams. Mid-range pricing. Confirm statutory and any benefits. Solid option where they’re focused.

5. MENA and Egypt specialists: Some providers focus on the Middle East and North Africa and have deep Egypt operations. They can offer local expertise and sometimes better EGP handling. Use when Egypt is a key market and you want someone who knows the labour authority and courts.

Must-check: (1) Social insurance employer rate and remittance. (2) End-of-service indemnity (often one month per year, capped) and who funds it. (3) Contract and termination process under Labour Law. (4) FX and currency of contract and pay. (5) All-in cost to company. Egypt is not a market to assume; get explicit confirmation of compliance and cost.
