Before a launch in the Gulf, Egypt or the Maghreb, check what each market really gets: currency, language, layout direction, payment options and redirects. A local home IP shows the version your users see.

**Quick answer — How do I test my website or app for users in the UAE, Saudi Arabia or Egypt?**

Route your browser or test device through a residential IP in each country and walk through the main flows: currency, language, right-to-left layout, payment options shown and geo-redirects. **MENA Proxies** sells home IPs in 14 MENA countries at $1.88 for 1 GB, as of October 2026, with sticky sessions for multi-step tests. No KYC; paid in crypto.

## What differs between MENA markets?

| Item to test | What to look for | Markets |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Currency with three decimals | Kuwaiti, Bahraini and Jordanian dinars and the Omani rial use 1,000 sub-units; rounding to two decimals is a bug | KW, BH, JO, OM, TN |
| Right-to-left layout | Mirrored navigation, icons that point the right way, numbers and Latin brand names inside Arabic or Hebrew text | All Arabic markets, IL |
| Language fallback | Arabic and English in the Gulf; French and Arabic in the Maghreb and Lebanon; Hebrew in Israel | All |
| Local payment options shown | Whether your checkout lists the local card scheme or wallet, such as mada in Saudi Arabia, KNET in Kuwait, BENEFIT in Bahrain or Fawry in Egypt | SA, KW, BH, EG |
| Geo-redirects | Whether a visitor lands on the country page, a regional Gulf page or the global page | All |
| Dates and weekends | Gregorian and Hijri dates; delivery estimates that skip local weekends | Gulf |

## How do I route a browser or test device through a MENA IP?

In a test browser, set the proxy to `gw.menaproxies.com` port 7777 with the username `USERNAME-country-ae-session-qa1-ttl-30`: the session keeps one UAE IP for 30 minutes, so a multi-step test of your own app stays on one IP. Playwright takes the username and password in its proxy settings (see the [getting started guide](https://menaproxies.com/guides/getting-started/)); Puppeteer needs `page.authenticate()`, because Chrome ignores credentials in `--proxy-server`.

On a phone: iOS has Wi-Fi → Configure Proxy → Manual, with Authentication on. Android's Wi-Fi proxy has no username field, and the country is set in the username, so use an app or browser that has its own proxy setting; Chrome on Android may prompt for the credentials, and many apps ignore the system proxy. For checks where carrier networks matter, such as mobile-only offers, use rotating 4G/5G mobile traffic instead.

*Puppeteer (Node.js): a UAE session for a QA pass*

```javascript
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ args: ['--proxy-server=http://gw.menaproxies.com:7777'] });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.authenticate({ username: 'USERNAME-country-ae-session-qa1-ttl-30', password: 'PASSWORD' });
  await page.goto('https://ipinfo.io/json');
  console.log(await page.evaluate(() => document.body.innerText));
  await browser.close();
})();
```

## What should a geo-test not touch?

Test your own app and website, and third-party pages only as a normal visitor. Third-party payment portals are blocked on every plan, so a hosted payment page loaded from an outside provider will not open through the proxy; test the payment step with the provider's own sandbox instead. Banking and government sites are blocked too. See the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://menaproxies.com/acceptable-use/).

## How much traffic does a QA pass use?

A full browser pass through a modern site moves a few megabytes per page. 1 GB ($1.88) covers a short smoke test in a few countries; 10 GB ($5.94) covers a launch checklist across all 14. Traffic never expires. Prices as of October 2026.

| Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Test | 1 GB | $1.88 | $1.88/GB |
| Team | 10 GB | $5.94 | $0.59/GB |
| Agency | 50 GB | $25 | $0.50/GB |

In every plan: Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 · Targeting: Country and city on every plan; ASN at no extra cost; city availability varies · Sessions: Rotating or sticky (up to 30 minutes) · Authentication: Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) · Traffic expiry: Never expires

**Before you pay**

- Minimum top-up $25. Top up once in crypto, then buy any plan from your balance.
- Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, but it is not paid back, except where the law requires it.
- Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min

## Geo-testing: questions

### Will my site see a real user location?

It will see a home IP from a broadband provider in the country you chose, which is what IP-based geolocation and geo-redirects read. Geolocation databases sometimes disagree about the city; the [location check guide](https://menaproxies.com/guides/verify-proxy-location/) shows how to see what each one says.

### Can I test right-to-left Arabic layouts?

Yes. Use an Arabic-market IP such as `country-sa` or `country-eg`, set the browser language to Arabic, and walk through the flows. Check mirrored navigation, icons, mixed Arabic and Latin text, and numbers inside Arabic sentences.

### How long can one test session keep the same IP?

Sticky sessions last up to 30 minutes: for example, add `-session-<id>-ttl-30` to the username. If the home connection behind the IP goes offline, the session can end early; start a new session ID and log in again.

### Can I test in-app purchases?

Use the app store's sandbox or test accounts for purchases. Payment portals are blocked on every plan, and a proxy is not needed for sandbox payments.
