Hi @RaviKanth-5629 Thanks for the response. How do i opt for Egypt?

Good day @Richard Anyaneto ,

Azure do not have any datacenter in Egypt so you cannot deploy a virtual machine there, but there is a datacenter in Israel, which should provide you best performance when you are in Egypt. It is not yet available for public but it is Coming very very soon.

In the meantime, you can use the datacenter in Africa, Qatar, or United Arab Emirates if you are looking for datacenter which physically located near Egypt.

With that said, according to my tests the best performance for Israeli users I get when I use the datacenter in Denmark - meaning that I select West Europe region. I assume that this related to the real internet lines which are not always related to the physical location.
