The UAE didn’t just lead MENA in Q1 2026 — it dominated. $625.8M. 46 deals. 66.5% of everything raised in the entire region.
Saudi Arabia came second with $156.7M across 57 deals — more deals, smaller cheques. Egypt held third. Everyone else? Far behind.
This isn’t just a funding story. It’s a signal about where the world’s investors trust their capital most right now. 👀
