Also for this trip

Skip the local SIM

The 2026 fee targets phones on local Egyptian lines. A travel eSIM is a foreign line roaming, which press reports describe as fee-free.

Nile and Red Sea

Solid 4G in the Red Sea resorts, Luxor and Aswan, and strong signal near towns and locks on a Nile cruise.

Keep your own number

Calls, texts and bank codes still arrive on your regular line.

Three small steps, then you are off

  1. 1

    Choose a destination

    Look up a country or a region. Prices appear in your own currency.

  2. 2

    Install it at home

    Scan the QR code before you leave. Nothing to swap, no SIM tray.

  3. 3

    Switch on when you land

    Turn the eSIM on after landing and you are online. Your usual number stays in the phone for calls and messages.

Good to know

Must tourists pay the Egypt phone tax?
According to NTRA, not during the first 90 days. Press reports say a phone roaming on a foreign SIM pays nothing.
What networks does the Egypt eSIM connect to?
Vodafone, Orange and Etisalat, which now trades as e&. It picks whichever reaches you.
Will I have signal on a Nile cruise?
Yes near towns and locks, but it fades in between. Reports say Vodafone keeps signal best.
