I was starting a new firestore database and actually I didn't know what GCP resource location that's suitable for my target audience in Egypt. Any help will be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

From looking at the available Firestore regions at: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/locations

Your closest region would be located in Europe:

Europe
europe-west2    London
europe-west3    Frankfurt
europe-west6    Zürich

You can also try gcping to test latencies to different Google Cloud regions.

Without knowing how high/low ping to Egypt would be, I'd suggest to deploy to Israel: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/infrastructure/new-google-cloud-region-in-israel
This should be at least 100ms difference, compared to Germany or Switzerland. For Firestore europe-central2 Warsaw might also be closer. One would have to measure and compare.
It seems one can only run the Firestore in the EU, while there's no ME location available.
