Planning a trip to Egypt and wondering what is the best prepaid SIM card for tourists in Egypt in 2026? In this complete guide I will show you everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Egypt, including where to buy one, up-to-date prices, mobile data coverage and my personal experience using different mobile networks in Egypt.

I just came back from another trip to Egypt where I did a Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan, one of the most popular travel routes in the country. During the entire cruise my Vodafone Egypt prepaid SIM card had an excellent connection almost all the way, even while sailing through more remote stretches along the Nile.
