To pick the right plan, consider the length of your trip and how much you'll use your phone for data. Our plans offer various data amounts and validity periods to match different travel styles.

• Short Stays (1-5 days): For a quick trip to Cairo or a weekend in a coastal resort, a smaller plan of 1 GB or 2 GB is often enough for essentials like maps, messaging, and occasional browsing.
• Standard Vacations (7-15 days): If you're touring for a week or two, exploring Luxor, Aswan, and beyond, consider a 3 GB, 5 GB, or 10 GB plan. This will comfortably cover regular social media use, photo uploads, and looking up information on historical sites.
• Longer Trips or Heavy Use (15-30 days): For extended stays, digital nomads, or travelers who use a lot of data, our larger 20 GB plans provide ample connectivity. We also offer an unlimited data option for those who prefer not to track their usage. Note that for unlimited plans, data speed may be reduced after a certain threshold of use is reached.

Your Egypt eSIM connects you to the country's leading local mobile networks to provide broad coverage. Upon arrival, your device will automatically connect to one of our partner providers.

• Orange
• Orange Egypt
• Vodafone

You can expect strong connectivity in major cities like Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, and Aswan, as well as in popular tourist areas such as Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada. In more remote desert regions or deep within certain ancient temples, mobile data service may be intermittent.

Please note that these are data-only eSIM plans and do not come with a phone number. You can make voice and video calls using internet-based apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype, or Telegram over your eSIM data connection.

• Download Offline Maps: Before your trip, use your home Wi-Fi to download offline maps of the areas you plan to visit. This is a great backup for navigating places where cellular signal might be weaker.
• Wi-Fi and Mobile Data: While many hotels, cafes, and restaurants in tourist areas offer Wi-Fi, it can be unreliable. Having an eSIM ensures you always have a private, secure connection for important tasks like online banking or booking last-minute tours.
• Keep Your Home Number: Your eSIM works alongside your primary SIM. This means you can keep your regular phone number active for services like WhatsApp, iMessage, or receiving verification codes without needing to switch SIM cards.

Getting your eSIM set up is a straightforward process that takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps for a smooth start to your connected travels.

1. Install before departure: We recommend installing your eSIM profile while you are still at home with a stable Wi-Fi connection. Simply scan the QR code you receive after purchase.
2. Activate upon arrival: When you land in Egypt, go into your phone's cellular settings and switch on the Cellesim eSIM line.
3. Enable data roaming: Make sure data roaming is turned on for your new eSIM line. This allows it to connect to the local Egyptian networks. Your phone will then automatically find and register on a partner network.
4. Check validity period: The validity of your plan may start upon installation or first connection to a network. Please check the specific details of your plan to confirm.
