Also for this trip

No local SIM needed

The 2026 phone fee applies to phones used on local Egyptian lines. A travel eSIM is a foreign line in roaming, the case press reports describe as paying no fee.

Red Sea and Nile

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

Your number stays

Calls, texts and bank codes keep reaching your usual line.

Three steps, then forget about it

  1. 1

    Pick a destination

    Search a country or region. The price shows in your currency, taxes in.

  2. 2

    Install in minutes

    Pay and the eSIM installs itself. No physical SIM, nothing to scan.

  3. 3

    Land online

    Your data is live the moment you switch on. Keep your usual number.

Good to know

Do tourists pay Egypt's phone tax?
Not for the first 90 days, according to NTRA. Press reports say phones on a foreign SIM in roaming pay nothing.
Which networks does the Egypt eSIM use?
Vodafone, Orange and Etisalat, now branded e&. It uses whichever reaches you.
Is there signal on a Nile cruise?
Near towns and locks, yes; in between it drops. Vodafone is reported to hold signal best.
