Why Posting Time Matters on TikTok
TikTok’s algorithm gives a massive boost to content in the first 30–60 minutes after it’s published. If your post performs well during that golden window, TikTok pushes it to wider audiences.
That means if you post when your followers are asleep or stuck in traffic, your chances of success plummet—even with great content.
Best Days to Post on TikTok in Egypt
Based on social media usage patterns in Egypt, these are the best days ranked for TikTok engagement:
| Day | Engagement Level |
|---|---|
| Friday | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Peak day |
| Thursday | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ High |
| Saturday | ⭐⭐⭐ High (especially at night) |
| Sunday | ⭐⭐ Moderate |
| Monday | ⭐⭐ Moderate |
| Tuesday | ⭐⭐ Moderate |
| Wednesday | ⭐⭐ Lower than average |
Note: Friday is a holy day and a weekend in Egypt, so TikTok usage spikes after Friday prayers, typically from 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM.
