ADVERTISING WITH US
Egypt Today and Business Today Egypt are the country's leading business and lifestyle monthly magazines. Published monthly from our offices in Cairo, the magazines are distributed all across Egypt as well as to over 50 countries in the Gulf, North Africa, Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. A staggering 140 countries have et and bt available at media centers and Egyptians embassies and consulates. Our readers are Egyptian nationals or foreign residents of Egypt with an interest in Egyptian and Middle Eastern current affairs as well as business, economics and the stock market.
Although both et and bt are English-language publications, 60% of our vast and diverse readership is comprised of Egyptians living in Egypt. Some 45% of our print subscribers are Egyptians living abroad or have Arab roots. Non-Egyptians reading the magazines are mostly long-term residents of Egypt or individuals that avidly follow the ever-changing and evolving Egyptian political, cultural, business and social issues.
