I built Tamem for Upper Egypt from the first line of code — Qift, Qena, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea. Serving those governorates properly meant solving problems that simply do not exist in a dense capital city.

What I built

  • Food, pharmacy and supermarket delivery in one platform
  • Inter-governorate shipping across Upper Egypt
  • B2B merchant tools so shops manage their own orders
  • Live order tracking through Google Maps integration
  • Companion mobile app serving both customers and drivers
  • Dispatch logic tuned for long inter-city routes, not city blocks

The engineering decision

The hard problems were not glamorous. Addresses in much of Upper Egypt are landmarks, not street numbers — "behind the mosque, next to the pharmacy" is a real delivery address and the system has to accept it. Drivers work on intermittent mobile data. And a route between two governorates is priced completely wrong by a generic distance API that assumes urban traffic.

Building for a region you actually understand beats building for one you have only read about in a market report.
