Oh, I've felt this exact gut-punch before. That moment when you've crafted the perfect campaign, hit launch, and then... crickets. Five days of nothing? Heartbreaking.
You've basically built a Demand Gen campaign on a shoestring with a hyper-specific audience. Germany is a gorgeous, competitive market - but your £30 daily budget is like whispering in a hurricane. Google needs at least double that to even start breathing life into those placements. It's the algorithm equivalent of trying to fill a swimming pool with a teaspoon.
The Arabic language targeting is the real gremlin here. It's not that it's wrong - but the inventory in Germany for that language is incredibly sparse. The algorithm is just wandering around a mostly empty gallery, finding nothing to show. You're asking it to paint with a colour that barely exists in that palette.
Here's what I'd do, and it's messy but it works:
Flip the language to German + Arabic, or better yet, let it go entirely. Then switch your bidding to Maximise Conversions - Maximise Clicks gives you a false sense of busy, not actual soul-touching delivery. After that, clone the whole campaign fresh. Google's old account can get a little... sluggish with approval delays. Sometimes a clean slate shakes it awake.
Give each change 48-72 hours. Resist the urge to poke it every hour. Lower the budget temporarily or test a bigger city first - let it have a proper playground before asking it to find a needle in a haystack. You'll get there. It just needs a bigger, louder, more flexible canvas.
