Whether you combine pyramids, Nile cruises and reef diving or simply find your way between Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea, staying online in Egypt makes the trip easier from the first hour.
Network coverage in Egypt
Coverage in Egypt comes from Orange, giving you 5G where it is deployed and 4G everywhere else. Nile cruises lose signal between towns; Red Sea resorts are well covered. The Cairo metro is covered, and Red Sea dive boats hold a signal within a few kilometres of shore.
How much data do you need?
As a rule of thumb, 500 MB to 1 GB a day covers maps, WhatsApp, ride-hailing and social feeds. A week of city sightseeing usually fits in 5 GB; a road trip with constant navigation is better served by an unlimited plan.

Setting up your Egypt eSIM
You receive the QR code by email within minutes of ordering. Install it at home, keep it dormant, and it starts counting only when it connects in Egypt — so buying early costs you nothing.
Whether you are in Egypt for a long weekend, a work trip or several weeks on the road, the same eSIM covers it — you simply pick the amount of data that matches the length of the stay.
Data for Egypt without a contract, without a deposit, and without hunting for a shop on arrival.
