Formats

Street-level & urban panels

Pedestrian-scale panels and citylights in high-footfall retail and downtown corridors.

Bulletins & roadside

Highway and arterial bulletins built for commuter frequency on the busiest routes.

Mall & retail screens

High-intent shoppers from midday to evening across the city's retail destinations.

Transit & place-based

Iconic & landmark

Landmark and spectacular placements for brand statements in the city's signature locations.

Location insights

Where Alexandria moves

Alexandria runs along its sea wall: the Corniche curves 17 kilometres from the Citadel of Qaitbay on the old lighthouse point past Stanley's bridge and the San Stefano towers to Montaza's palace gardens. Raml Station and the Mansheya blocks hold the downtown retail core where the old trams turn, Smouha carries the modern business and club district inland, and Sidi Gaber lands the Cairo trains. In summer the whole country seems to decamp to this coast and the seafront doubles its crowds. Buy the Corniche evening promenade and the Raml Station daytime rush.

Commuter tide, twice a day

The Corniche / Stanley and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.

Retail plateau, all afternoon

Smouha / Sidi Gaber and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.

Evenings change the audience

Raml Station / Downtown shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.

Location intelligence summary

One city, several audiences a day

Alexandria doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.

Match the tide, not the calendar

A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Alexandria’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.

Creative by daypart

Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.

Proof, not vibes

Every play is logged. Blindspot campaigns report verified plays and attribution, measured against control groups, not estimated reach.

Pricing · updated June 2026

Alexandria billboards: priced honestly

Per-play prices, not CPM mysteries. Live per-screen pricing and real-time availability are on every card in the platform; the ranges below reflect typical Blindspot pricing as of June 2026.

No minimums · no contracts · pay per verified play · hourly scheduling per screen

Four things move the price on any Alexandria screen: the format (pricing runs higher on tram & road screens than on downtown & Raml digital), the zone (Raml Station / Downtown carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.

What a campaign costs

Alexandria budgets, three ways

Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.

Corniche test

$500-$1,500

A week of hourly bursts along the seafront and around Raml Station.

Multi-zone Alexandria push

$5,000-$14,000

Downtown, the Corniche and Smouha running together across peak dayparts.

Summer-season flagship

$25,000+

Full seafront and approach-road saturation timed to the summer flight from Cairo to the coast.

FAQ

Alexandria billboard FAQs

Do I need a permit to advertise on an Alexandria billboard?

No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, Al-Ahram Advertising Agency, TN Outdoors (Tarek Nour Group), Alliance Media among them, so you're leasing airtime on an existing structure, not erecting a new one.

What creative specs do I need for an Alexandria screen?

Specs vary by screen: orientation, resolution and file format differ from one panel to the next. Every screen shows its exact requirements in the platform before you upload, so there's no separate spec sheet to track down before you book.

Can I book a Alexandria billboard for just a few hours?

Yes, on Blindspot every Alexandria screen is bookable by the hour with no minimum contract, so you can buy only the commute peaks, shopping afternoons, or evening windows that match your audience.

Which DOOH networks can I reach in Alexandria?

Blindspot aggregates digital out-of-home inventory across Alexandria onto one map, roadside and boulevard screens, transit, mall and place-based panels, bookable per play. The wider OOH supply is run by operators such as Al-Ahram Advertising Agency, TN Outdoors (Tarek Nour Group), Alliance Media.

How fast can my ad go live in Alexandria?

Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Content approval typically averages around two business days across networks.

What can I get in Alexandria for $500?

A multi-day hourly presence on a high-traffic The Corniche / Stanley corridor, a concentrated burst across the busiest transit and retail screens at peak hours, or thousands of plays on central urban panels.

Is there a minimum spend for Alexandria billboards?

No. Blindspot has no minimums, retainers or platform fees; you can run a focused hourly burst on a single screen or a full multi-zone Alexandria campaign.
