Egypt eSIM Plans

 An Egypt eSIM allows instant internet access across major cities like Cairo, Alexandria, Hurghada, and Sharm El Sheikh without needing a physical SIM card.
Once you scan your QR code, your eSIM connects to top networks like Vodafone Egypt, Orange Egypt, and Etisalat, giving you fast, secure 4G/LTE internet wherever you are. 

 You can easily purchase additional data through your Cellesim account without reinstalling.
Once you top up, your eSIM continues working with the same QR code — no downtime, no hassle. 

 Yes. eSIM coverage in Egypt is strong in major cities and tourist areas such as Luxor, Aswan, Dahab, and Sharm El Sheikh.
Even in desert regions, you’ll have stable 4G in most populated zones. 

Important to know: Yes, Egypt has strict regulations on VoIP (Voice over IP) services. While you can send messages, photos, and voice notes on WhatsApp, Messenger, or Telegram without issues, voice and video calls via these apps are often blocked by local providers. If making app-based calls is essential for you, we recommend using a secure VPN or sticking to text-based communication while using mobile data. 

Yes. This is one of the biggest reasons to buy an eSIM. Wi-Fi on Nile Cruise ships is notoriously expensive, slow, and often only works in the lobby. Our eSIM connects to reliable local networks (typically Vodafone Egypt or Orange) that cover the banks of the Nile River. You will have 4G/LTE connectivity to upload your temple photos while sailing between Luxor and Aswan, independent of the boat's poor Wi-Fi. 

No. Buying a physical SIM card at Cairo International Airport requires presenting your passport, visa, and waiting in chaotic queues while the agent registers your details. Cellesim eSIMs are hassle-free and require no ID registration for data-only travel plans. You can buy online and activate it instantly, skipping the airport bureaucracy entirely. 

Absolutely. Cairo is a massive city, and using ride-hailing apps like Uber or Careem is the safest way to get around. Our eSIM provides fast 4G/LTE speeds, ensuring your GPS location is accurate for pickups and you can track your ride in real-time without lag. It is also essential for using Google Maps to navigate the complex streets. 

 Yes! You can download and set up your Egypt eSIM before you travel.
 Your plan will only activate once you connect to an Egyptian network — meaning your phone will be ready to go as soon as you land at Cairo International Airport (CAI). 

 Almost all modern smartphones support eSIM — including iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20+, Google Pixel 4+, and Huawei P40 series.
Make sure your phone is unlocked before installation.
