Internet in Egypt with eSIM
Egypt is a fascinating destination where history and adventure combine: from the pyramids of Giza and the Valley of the Kings, to the Red Sea or cruises on the Nile. It is a country where you will constantly move between cities, excursions and tourist areas.
Therefore, having Internet in Egypt during your trip is key to organize your trip, consult routes, contact guides or manage reservations in real time. In addition, international roaming outside Europe is often expensive and unpredictable.
With an eSIM for Egypt from MyRoamUp, you can travel with mobile data ready before you leave. Simply install your eSIM on your compatible cell phone and activate it upon arrival to automatically connect to local networks.
This way you can use maps, translators, transportation apps or communicate throughout your trip, without relying on hotel WiFi or worrying about unexpected costs.
Egypt is a trip that is lived intensely… and being connected helps you make the most of it.

An eSIM is a digital SIM that allows you to activate a data plan on your phone without needing to insert a physical card. With a travel eSIM, you can buy your plan online, install it in seconds, and have internet at your destination from the very first moment—without searching for stores or paying roaming fees.
MyRoamUp plans include mobile data, so they don’t offer traditional calls or SMS. However, you can still communicate using your usual number through apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, Skype, Google Meet, or Zoom, which work perfectly with your internet connection.
Egypt has good mobile coverage in cities and tourist areas, such as Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada or Sharm el-Sheikh. In these areas you will be able to browse, use applications and communicate without any problems.
During desert excursions or on long journeys, coverage may be more limited or intermittent. However, at the main points of the tourist itinerary you will have connection available.
For most trips, you will be able to count on Internet in key areas of the country.
Most recent smartphones are already eSIM compatible. These include many iPhone XS and newer iPhones, as well as models from Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Huawei, Oppo, and Xiaomi.
You can check if your phone supports eSIM in several ways:
Dial #06# on your phone
If an EID code appears on the screen, your device is eSIM compatible.
Check your phone settings
On many devices, you can find it under:
Settings → Mobile Data / Connections → Add eSIM or Add Mobile Plan.
Check the list of compatible devices
If you’re unsure, you can review the list of eSIM-compatible devices on our website or on the manufacturer’s website.
If your phone is compatible, you’ll be able to install your eSIM in just a few minutes and have internet at your destination without changing your regular SIM.
No problem. If you use up all the GB in your plan, you can easily top up your data from your private customer area on MyRoamUp.
Simply log in to your account and choose the GB package that best suits your trip. The top-up will be activated within minutes so you can keep using the internet at your destination without interruptions.
The best way to have Internet in Egypt is to use an international eSIM with data included, thus avoiding roaming charges from your operator, which are usually high outside Europe.
