About the Egypt eSIM

Popular with Australian travellers heading to Cairo, the pyramids of Giza, Luxor and the Red Sea.
Data only, with no local phone number: use WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime for calls. Delivered by email in minutes, so you can install it before you fly. Your plan starts when you connect in Egypt.

Egypt eSIM questions
How much does the Egypt eSIM cost?
Data plans start at $3.95 for 1GB over 7 days, and 10GB for 30 days is $23.95. Prices are in AUD, with no roaming charges on top.
How much data do I need in Egypt?
Most travellers use about 1GB a day with maps, messaging and some social media, so 10GB ($23.95) covers a week. Just maps and messages? 3GB ($8.95) is enough for a week. Streaming or a laptop hotspot? Pick 50GB ($82.95). See how much data each app uses.
Which networks does the Egypt eSIM use?
It uses Orange, Etisalat and Vodafone, and joins whichever has the best signal where you are. You get 5G where the network has it, if your phone supports 5G, and 4G everywhere else.
Does it work on a Nile cruise?
Mostly. Between Luxor and Aswan the boat stays near towns and signal holds for most of the trip, with gaps in the quieter stretches.
Does it work at the pyramids and the Valley of the Kings?
Yes at Giza and outside the tombs at the Valley of the Kings. Inside the tombs and the pyramids there's no signal.
Do Uber and Careem work in Egypt?
Yes, in Cairo, Giza, Alexandria and some Red Sea towns. The app shows the price first, so there's no haggling.
Does it work at the Red Sea resorts?
Yes. Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh, Dahab and Marsa Alam all have good signal. Out on dive and snorkel boats it drops.
When does my Egypt plan start?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Egypt. Install it on Wi-Fi a day or two before you fly: the days don't start counting until you land.
Can I use the Egypt eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Every Egypt plan can share its data with a laptop, a tablet or a travel partner's phone. Anything you share comes off the same plan.
Does the Egypt eSIM include calls and texts?
No, it's data only, with no local number. Call and text over WhatsApp, iMessage or FaceTime. Your Australian number stays on your phone, so texts like bank codes still arrive.
