Tips before you go

  • A week at a resort with lobby Wi-Fi usually needs about 5 GB.
  • Day trips to Cairo or Luxor have no Wi-Fi on the road; 10 GB is safer.
  • Unlimited costs more in Egypt than in Turkey, so data packs are often better value.

How to install

  1. Scan the QR code at home on Wi-Fi: iPhone — Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM; Android — Settings → Connections → SIM manager → Add eSIM.
  2. Keep your home SIM installed: bank and service SMS codes keep arriving on it.
  3. After landing, set the eSIM as the line for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it.
