Egypt Changed the Rules on Phones Carried by Passengers in January, and Tourists Kept an Exemption
Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab are one purchase here, at one price. The button above counts 45 plans from 2.27 dollars, listed as an Egypt set and a Middle East set that includes the country. Searches for a Cairo eSIM and searches for a Hurghada eSIM end in the same place: the Egypt plans listed below.
What the New Rule Does and Does Not Cover
This concerns the handset in your pocket rather than the plan on it, and it is the one piece of Egyptian regulation worth two minutes before a trip.
NTRA ended the passenger exemption, but kept 90 days for tourists
Egypt's National Telecom Regulatory Authority announced the annulment of the exceptional customs exemption for an imported mobile phone carried by a passenger, effective 12:00 noon on Wednesday 21 January 2026. Its announcement states that the exemption continues to apply to mobile phones of Egyptians living abroad and to tourists for a period of 90 days, with a 90 day grace period from the date the phone was activated to regularise a device before any regulatory measures are taken.
The announcement does not distinguish a roaming line from a local SIM
On some destinations the regulator says explicitly that a device roaming on a foreign line is outside the registration rule. Egypt's announcement does not address that question at all, so we are not going to fill the gap with a guess. For a visit inside 90 days the exemption covers you either way; beyond that, ask the authority rather than a reseller.
The Egypt Shelf Is Narrow, Which Makes the Comparison Short
A narrow field, which makes the comparison unusually short.
2.27 dollars is the way in, on one seven day Esimfly card
Exactly one gigabyte, which is why its entry price and its rate per gigabyte are the same figure. There is no shorter or longer version of it.
Roamify carries the group and the best rate with it, from 2.88 dollars
Roamify carries almost the whole Egypt group, with validity 1 to 30 days and seven unlimited options. Sixty one cents more to start than the single card above, and roughly a third of its cost per gigabyte.
Egypt Cards Against Middle East Cards
Both groups sit on this page and the country set wins comfortably.
The country cards sit at less than half the regional rate
Entry runs the same way and wider, 2.27 against 5.51. Both groups stop at 30 days, so the regional cards buy reach and nothing else here.
A Red Sea and Jordan itinerary is the case for the regional set
If the trip crosses to Aqaba or on to the Gulf, one purchase covers it. For Egypt alone the country cards are the cheaper half of this page on both measures.
Which Egyptian Operator You Land On Is Not Disclosed
Vodafone Egypt, Orange Egypt, Etisalat Misr and WE all run networks in the country.
Both cards keep the roaming partner to themselves
Not one of the plans here publishes which local operator it roams onto. Sizing the bundle correctly will matter far more than this does. No published Egypt coverage figure holds up, so this page gives none.
The Nile, the Delta and the Red Sea Are One Card
No supplier in this catalogue prices Egypt by governorate.
Aswan costs the same to connect as Alexandria
Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab take the same card and pay the same for it. The overnight train south changes nothing on your bill.
Sizing a Plan for an Egyptian Fortnight
Two weeks of navigation, ride hailing and photographs is the common shape here.
Four to six gigabytes covers most itineraries
Maps, messaging, ride hailing in Cairo and a steady stream of photographs. Hotel wifi in the resorts does more of the work than it does on a Nile itinerary.
Seven unlimited cards sit in the Egypt group
Worth pricing against a large fixed bundle if you are working from the connection or uploading video.
Before You Land in Cairo
Two things, one of them specific to this destination.
If you are staying past 90 days, read the NTRA notice yourself
The exemption described at the top of this page is time limited and the announcement does not cover every case. For a long stay, go to the authority rather than to any seller, including us.

Installing an eSIM needs an internet connection; activating it does not.
