Cairo – Mubasher: The Chinese Baidu, Inc. is exiting from the Egyptian market after six years of expansion in Cairo.
The web services company has closed its Cairo office over the past few months as the company did not achieve its targets in the country, former employees told the Wall Street Journal.
Cairo office was focusing on the development of Applications and online advertisements in Arabic for the MENA region audiences, employees highlighted.
China’s top search engine representatives in Beijing have mentioned that the internet company is currently working on mobile phone applications and has millions of monthly active users in the MENA regions.
On 27 January 2014, Baidu had launched its testing search engine in Egypt, localised in Arabic.
In September 2011, the Chinese company had launched its website Baidu Knows for Egyptian users.
