Local know-how
What to know before you land in Egypt
Coverage and networks
Egypt is served by Vodafone Egypt, Orange Egypt, Etisalat Misr and WE. Cairo, the Nile corridor and the Red Sea resorts are well covered; deep desert excursions lose signal on every network. The plan card names yours before checkout.
Landing and activation
Install at home and switch on at Cairo or Hurghada airport. Having data active before the arrivals hall makes taxi negotiation and eVisa checks far less stressful.
Which plan fits your trip
A week split between Cairo and a Red Sea resort runs well on 5 GB, since resorts leaning on hotel Wi-Fi. A Nile cruise with daily uploads deserves 10 GB; signal on the river itself comes and goes.

Land, switch it on
Set the GetSim eSIM as your default for cellular data. Your home SIM keeps handling calls and 2FA SMS in the background.
Your real number stays online. The eSIM only handles data. Calls, SMS, banking 2FA all keep arriving on your home SIM.
Crossing borders?
Going to more than just Egypt?
A regional bundle covers Egypt and 195+ other countries on a single eSIM, often cheaper than buying separate single-country plans for a multi-stop trip.
Frequently asked about Egypt eSIMs
Yes. The GetSim eSIM installs as a second profile on your phone. Your home SIM and number stay active for calls and SMS. Set the GetSim eSIM as the default for cellular data only.
Plans run on tier-1 mobile networks in Egypt. The exact carrier depends on the plan; you'll see the network name on each plan card before you pay.
Typical activation is 1–3 minutes after switching the eSIM on. Many travelers install the eSIM at home over Wi-Fi and toggle it on the moment the plane lands.
GetSim eSIMs are data-only. For voice and SMS, use apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Signal or Telegram. They all work seamlessly over the eSIM data. If you need a real phone number for verifications, pair the eSIM with a GetSim virtual number from the same wallet.
Top up the eSIM directly from your dashboard or the GetSim app, no need to install a new profile. Top-ups are billed per-GB at the same rate as the original plan.
