Creiden is a software team in Alexandria, building web platforms, mobile apps, and AI products since 2011. Most of the work we do is for clients outside Egypt, across Europe, the Gulf, and North America.
Four things decide whether an offshore market works for you. Here is where Egypt lands on each of them.
One working day, not two
We work on GMT+2. That is a full working-day overlap with Europe, close to full with the Gulf, and a solid morning overlap with the US East Coast. Questions get answered inside your day rather than the next one.
Senior engineering at a lower rate
Senior engineering time in Egypt costs a fraction of Western European or US rates. The difference is cost of living, not seniority, which is what separates Egypt from the cheapest offshore markets where you pay twice for the same work.
A deep engineering pool
Egypt produces a large number of engineering graduates every year and has had an established software outsourcing sector for decades. Finding and keeping senior developers here is a normal hiring process rather than a search.
English at work, Arabic natively
English is the working language of Egyptian software teams. Code, documentation, and calls are all in English. Arabic is native, which matters when your product ships to the Gulf and the interface has to work in both directions.
Why Creiden
Fifteen years of shipping for clients we never share a city with
We have been a software development company in Egypt since 2011, working out of Alexandria almost entirely for companies based somewhere else. Building across borders is the normal case for us, not an exception we make.
Our week runs Sunday to Thursday, 09:00 to 17:00 EET, which is GMT+2.
Full working-day overlap with Europe and the Gulf, and a morning overlap with the US East Coast.
We work in agile sprints and demonstrate progress to you on regular calls over Google Meet.
You have staging environment access from day one, and direct email access to the team between calls.
How a project starts
We run the same three phases whether you are in Alexandria or Amsterdam. Initiate maps your business, scope, and success criteria into a roadmap before any code is written. Ignite is design and sprint-based development against a staging environment you can watch, and Impact covers launch, training your team, and the support that follows it.

Initiate
Business and technical analysis, scope mapping, and a milestone roadmap with dates.
2
Ignite
Design, sprint-based development, and continuous QA against a staging environment you can see.

Production launch, documentation, training for your team, and support after handover.
FAQ
Questions we get from clients outside Egypt
We are based in Alexandria, Egypt, and have been since 2011. The signing entity is Creiden for Programming Technology L.L.C, registered in Egypt.
Yes. Most of our work is for clients outside Egypt, across Europe, the Gulf, and North America. You contract with the Egyptian company directly, and governing law is agreed per contract rather than fixed to Egyptian law.
We work Sunday to Thursday, 09:00 to 17:00 EET, which is GMT+2. That gives a full working-day overlap with Europe and the Gulf, and a morning overlap with the US East Coast.
We invoice in USD, EUR, or EGP. Payment comes in by international bank wire over SWIFT, or through Wise or Payoneer.
Clients own all deliverables outright on final payment. Creiden retains rights only to pre-existing tools and generic components it brought to the project.
Yes. We will sign your own NDA and MSA, or work from our own templates. Either direction is fine with us.
Fixed price per milestone, a monthly retainer with a dedicated team, or time and materials. The model is chosen per project rather than applied by default.
English is the working language of our team, so code, documentation, and calls are all in English. Arabic is native, which matters when your product ships to the Gulf.
