Frequently Asked Questions
Do eSIMs work in Egypt?
Yes. Egyptian networks support eSIM, and travel eSIMs connect to Orange, Vodafone or Etisalat (e&) from the moment you land. Install yours before you fly so you have data at the airport.

Do I need to register my phone in Egypt if I use an eSIM?
Usually not for a holiday. Since January 2026, phones brought into Egypt owe customs fees once used on an Egyptian SIM, but tourists are exempt for 90 days, and phones on a foreign roaming line are not charged. Most travel eSIMs work as roaming lines. For longer stays on a local line, check the NTRA rules.

Can I use my UK phone in Egypt, or is an eSIM cheaper?
Yes, if roaming is switched on, but Egypt is outside the Europe roaming zones of UK networks, so you pay a daily fee or buy a pass unless your plan includes worldwide roaming. Three, for instance, puts Egypt in its Around the World Extra zone at £8 per 24 hours for customers who joined from 18 December 2025. Data used outside a pass can be very expensive, so check your carrier's app before you fly and compare the cost of your whole trip with the plans on this page.

Amazing service! I’ve used Mobimatter many times and I’m always impressed by how fast and helpful their support team is. They assisted me quickly whenever I had a question, and everything was resolved smoothly. The eSIMs are reliable, easy to install, and work exactly as expected. I keep coming back because the service is consistently excellent.
