Residential proxies in 14 Middle East and North African countries

Which countries in the region have no page here?

• Palestine, Libya and Sudan: no page for now, until supply there is confirmed.
• Iran: no page and no marketing, because of US and EU sanctions.
• Yemen: no page and no marketing, because of US sanctions risk on local networks since the terrorism designation of Ansarallah took effect on 5 March 2025.
• Syria: no page and no marketing for now.

Some countries are not available, for legal or sourcing reasons, including countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions. Whatever the country, the Acceptable Use Policy forbids using the service for or on behalf of sanctioned people, entities or places.

The same plans also work in many countries outside the region, at checkout, except where sanctions or local law forbid it under the Acceptable Use Policy. This site only publishes pages for the 14 countries above.

What is a residential proxy, and why use one for MENA checks?

A residential proxy sends your request through the internet connection of a home, so the site you check sees a household IP from that country's broadband provider, such as e& or du in the UAE, stc in Saudi Arabia or WE in Egypt. A data-centre IP shows up as a hosting company instead.

That difference matters in the region because large stores and ad platforms localise by IP: noon and Amazon show prices in AED, SAR or EGP and change delivery promises by city, and Google localises results by the location of the IP since it moved country domains to google.com in 2025. A check run from Europe or the US sees a different page.

How do country and city targeting work?

Targeting goes in the proxy username, so any tool that accepts a proxy URL can use it:

• Country: USERNAME-country-ae (two-letter ISO code, in lower case). Works on every plan.
• City: USERNAME-country-ae-city-dubai; city IDs are lower case with _ for spaces, such as abu_dhabi. Works where the pool has IPs online in that city at that moment. The dashboard and the API call GET /v1/catalog/countries/AE/cities (upper case in the API, lower case in the username) list the cities you can target.
• Operator (ASN): USERNAME-country-ae-asn-5384 exits on e& in the UAE, at no extra cost; GET /v1/catalog/countries/AE/asns lists the ASNs online in a country, and availability varies.
• Sticky session: add -session-<id>-ttl-<minutes> to keep one IP for up to 30 minutes (the IP can change earlier).

Without a session ID, each new connection gets an IP from the pool, usually a different one; clients that keep connections open (sessions, browsers) keep the same IP until the connection closes. Use a session for checkouts, logins to your own test accounts or any flow with several steps.

Residential, mobile or static: which one do I need?

Residential traffic is the default for price, search and most ad checks, and from 5 GB it costs less per GB than mobile traffic. Rotating 4G/5G mobile traffic ($1.50/GB) shows what phone users on carrier networks see, which matters for mobile-only ads and apps. A dedicated mobile port ($20.25 for 30 days) gives one carrier IP that you rotate yourself.

MENA Proxies does not sell static residential (ISP) proxies. A sticky session of up to 30 minutes (the IP can change earlier) covers most flows that need one IP; see static vs rotating residential proxies in the UAE for the cases where it does not.
