Orange 5G provides Egypt's most reliable mobile data coverage across Cairo, Alexandria, and Luxor, with growing 5G along the Nile and Red Sea coast. Signal is strong for ride-hailing apps, hotel bookings, and messaging. Coverage weakens in deep desert regions and remote oases, so offline maps are recommended for Western Desert expeditions.
14 plans are available for Egypt, from $3.99 up to $73.99. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.
Same plan, same coverage, wherever you go in Egypt.
