For patients considering a gastric sleeve abroad, the shortlist usually comes down to two destinations: Turkey, highly visible online, and Egypt — less marketed but increasingly chosen. Here is the point-by-point comparison.
2026 prices
In Turkey, a sleeve runs €3,200–€4,500 depending on the city and clinic. In Egypt, the equivalent all-inclusive package at accredited hospitals is €2,600–€4,200 — hospital, surgical team, hotel, transfers and follow-up included. The gap is not enormous: price alone should not decide.
What actually differs
Language: in Egypt, Arabic is the language of the country and English- and French-speaking coordinators are standard — a real advantage for Gulf and North African patients and their companions. The model: part of the Turkish market runs on volume with very short stays (4–5 days); the Egyptian programmes we arrange plan 6–8 days including 2–3 hospital nights, which leaves time to confirm you tolerate oral intake before flying. Follow-up: a successful sleeve is decided in the following 12 months — nutrition plan, blood work, team availability. Demand a written follow-up protocol, whichever destination you choose.
How to choose
Three questions for both: who is the surgeon (name and annual sleeve volume)? How many hospital nights are included? How does remote follow-up work in your language? The destination that answers all three in writing earns your trust.
