Egypt eSIM - frequently asked questions
Does my Dutch number stay active on WhatsApp?

Does it work in Hurghada resorts?
Yes, the Red Sea coast has solid LTE on Etisalat and Orange Egypt. Deep desert excursions can drop to 3G or no signal.
Is hotspot allowed?
Yes, on every Egypt plan at no extra cost. Useful where hotel Wi-Fi is slow or charged per device.
