Travelling to Egypt

Roameo's Egypt eSIM connects to the national 4G/5G networks, which follow where people actually live: the Nile valley and delta (Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Aswan), the canal cities and the Red Sea resorts at Hurghada, El Gouna, Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab. Nile cruise boats hold signal through the riverside towns and lose it on some stretches in between. The Western Desert oases, the White Desert and the Sinai interior are effectively offline. Be aware that app-based voice calling has been restricted on Egyptian networks at times; messaging and data work normally, but don't build your plans around WhatsApp calls. Photography rules at some sites and airports are strict — read the signage. Data-only, tethering supported, home SIM keeps your number.

Frequently asked

Messaging works normally. App-based voice and video calling has been restricted on Egyptian networks at times, so treat calls as unreliable and use your home SIM's voice service if it matters.
Yes — Giza, Luxor, Karnak and Aswan are all covered, along with the roads and the Nile-side towns.
Mostly. Signal is good near the towns the boat calls at and drops on some stretches of river in between.
Resort areas like Sharm and Dahab are covered. The desert interiors and the White Desert have no service on any network.
