Egyptian Startup MaXab.ai Expands to China to Support GCC Dropshipping Merchants

3 Min Read

Egyptian e-commerce startup MaXab.ai has established a sister company in Guangzhou, China, to manage product sourcing and logistics for merchants in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. The expansion supports its dropshipping platform, which connects online retailers with more than 10,000 products without requiring them to hold inventory.

Egypt-based MaXab.ai has expanded its cross-border operations with the establishment of Guangzhou Maisabu Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. in China’s Baiyun District in October 2026. The new company will handle sourcing and logistics closer to Chinese suppliers, supporting MaXab.ai’s e-commerce services across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC.

Founded in August 2025 by Mohamed Abdallah Abbas and headquartered in Sadat City, Egypt, MaXab.ai develops a dropshipping application available through the Salla App Store. The platform allows merchants to add products from a catalogue of more than 10,000 items to their online stores without purchasing or storing inventory upfront.

The application automatically updates product prices, stock availability and order statuses. Once a customer places and pays for an order, MaXab.ai purchases the product from the supplier and manages the fulfillment process. The platform operates exclusively with prepaid orders and does not support cash on delivery.

For products shipped from China, MaXab.ai estimates four to five days for delivery from suppliers to its warehouse in China or Hong Kong, followed by 10 to 15 days for processing and delivery. Total delivery times are estimated at 14 to 20 days for Saudi Arabia and 15 to 21 days for other GCC markets.

The company also maintains locally stocked products in Saudi Arabia, including women’s handbags, wallets and men’s bags, with delivery available within four business days.

MaXab.ai offers a free plan alongside paid subscriptions starting at SAR 99 per month. Shipping fees are listed at SAR 45 per order from China and SAR 24 for domestic deliveries within Saudi Arabia.

The Guangzhou entity is a sister company personally owned by Abbas rather than a subsidiary of the Egyptian business. The founder also owns Maxab Hub Inc., established in Delaware in January 2026. In Saudi Arabia, MaXab.ai operates through a local agent, Maxab Technology Establishment in Jeddah, which is registered as a technical integration partner on the Salla App Store.

The expansion is intended to strengthen the company’s supply chain between China and the Gulf, allowing merchants to source products internationally while MaXab.ai manages purchasing, shipping and order fulfillment.
