Employer of Record services in Egypt for Saudi companies. Vision 2030 aligned, structured so your Saudi entity carries no Saudization impact and no Egyptian employment exposure, with employment contracts issued under Egyptian Labour Law 14/2025 — your Egyptian engineers join your Riyadh team without the salary pressure of the Riyadh tech market.
Vision 2030 has made Riyadh a competitive market for senior technical talent. Egyptian engineers with comparable skill sets sit in a +0 or +1 timezone, are employed in Egypt by WEM, and fall outside Saudization and work-visa administration. Model the cost difference for your exact role in the cost calculator.
Senior developer, fully-loaded local cost in Riyadh: SAR 25,000–35,000/month. Model the Egypt equivalent for your exact role in the cost calculator.
Avoid entity setup costs, Iqama administration, local sponsor requirements, and a multi-month incorporation timeline. WEM employs in Egypt; you invoice in SAR or USD.
EOR hires don't count toward your Nitaqat ratio either way — they're employees of WEM in Egypt, not your Saudi entity. Scale globally without affecting your Saudization score.
Cairo is 1 hour behind Riyadh. Standups, sprint planning, and Slack work in real time — no async-only constraints. Same Sun-Thu workweek.
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 prioritises knowledge economy growth, digital transformation, and NEOM/SEZ scaling. WEM helps Saudi companies achieve targets without the runaway salary inflation of the Riyadh market.
Multiple daily Riyadh-Cairo and Jeddah-Cairo direct flights on Saudia and EgyptAir. Quarterly all-hands, training sprints, or critical project work in Riyadh are straightforward — business visit visa is quick.
All figures are 2026 market benchmarks. Saudi figures are local-hire fully-loaded cost (gross salary + GOSI + housing allowance). Egypt figures via WEM = total cost to your business (employee gross + employer NOSI + EOR fee + Egyptian Tax Authority compliance + IP and NDA legal documents). Conversion at USD/SAR 3.75.
