Where is Egypt's equipment market, governorate by governorate?
Greater Cairo is the centre of Egypt's equipment trade — Cairo alone carries 28% of every located post — and the Delta governorates together carry 28%, asking for a different set of machines. This page maps 5,151 located posts across 27 governorates, and shows where EXON's own units stand.
Data as of Sep 17, 2026 · 40,151 posts analysed · Egypt
Where the market lives
20% of Egyptian posts name a place. Greater Cairo leads, as expected — but Dakahlia (Mansoura) is the Delta's surprise machine hub, ahead of Alexandria.
2.9% of posts are Sudanese traders using Egyptian groups, and Saudi and Chinese exporters appear too. Prices and locations above are filtered to Egypt.

Where EXON's own machines stand
357 units in EXON's register, standing across 4 governorates. Mobilisation is priced from the yard nearest your site, so this is the map that decides a delivery cost.
Questions this page answers
- Where is most heavy equipment traded in Egypt?
- In Greater Cairo: Cairo alone carries 28% of every post that names a location, with Giza next. The Delta governorates together carry 28%, mostly loaders and agricultural tractors.
- Which governorates ask for equipment rather than offer it?
- Requests concentrate in Cairo and Giza, where the projects are, while the Delta and Upper Egypt post more offers than requests. That gap is a mobilisation question more than a supply one.
- Does EXON deliver outside Cairo?
- Yes. EXON's units stand across 4 governorates, and machines are mobilised to site from the nearest yard; the delivery cost follows that distance.
- Why do so few posts have a location?
- Only 20% of Egyptian posts name a place at all, because sellers expect the phone call to settle it. The map is therefore a map of the posts that said where they were, not of the whole market.

Method
- A post is placed only when its text names a city, district or governorate. Place names are matched in Arabic and English.
- 5,151 posts resolved to a governorate. Posts naming Egypt without a place, or naming a place outside Egypt, are excluded rather than assigned.
- EXON's own map comes from the asset register: each unit's yard or project site, resolved to its governorate. Public listings name the area, never the project.
- Governorates are listed only with at least 25 located posts, so no governorate is characterised by a handful of ads.
