At the 2007 Pan Arab Games, the athletics events were held at the Military Academy Stadium in Cairo, Egypt from 21 to 24 November. A total of 46 events were contested, of which 23 by male and 23 by female athletes. Morocco was the most successful nation in the competition, taking ten gold medals in a 23-medal haul. Sudan and Tunisia won the second and third greatest number of golds with 8 and 7. The host country, Egypt, achieved six gold medals but also shared the joint highest total medal count with Morocco. Seven Games records were beaten at the 2007 edition of the event.

Amr Ibrahim Mostafa Seoud of Egypt and Gretta Taslakian of Lebanon achieved the 100/200 metres double on the men's and women's sides, respectively. Sudan's Abubaker Kaki Khamis won both the men's 800 metres and 1500 metres, setting a Games record in the latter, and Abdelkader Hachlaf went unbeaten in both the 5000 metres and 3000 m steeplechase. Mona Jabir Adam Ahmed won the heptathlon and 400 m hurdles titles and also won a gold and a silver with Sudan in the women's relays. Her relay team-mate Nawal El Jack also won four medals, having taken the women's 400 metres race and the silver in the 200 m.
