Yes on both counts. Article 7 of the Egyptian Consumer Protection Law requires all suppliers to clearly display the prices of any commodities or services they offer. Importantly, the displayed price must be the all-inclusive price — it must already incorporate any legally applicable taxes or financial charges. Suppliers cannot advertise one price and then add taxes or fees at the checkout without prior disclosure.
Article 6 mandates that product labels and required information must be written in Arabic, in clear and easily readable text. The specific data that must appear on labels is determined by Egyptian standard specifications, the law itself, or its executive regulations. This requirement ensures that consumers can understand what they are buying, regardless of a product's country of origin.
For expats, this means you have the right to expect clear, Arabic-language labeling and upfront, all-inclusive pricing. If you encounter products with no price displayed, misleading pricing, or labels that lack required information, this is a violation of the law. You can raise the issue directly with the store manager or, if unresolved, report it to the Consumer Protection Agency (CPA). When shopping online or in international stores, these same rules apply to any product sold within Egypt.
