eSIM for Egypt: which Airalo package to buy

Egypt is outside the EU, so roaming on a European plan is charged at your operator’s travel rates. An Airalo eSIM for Egypt runs on the Vodafone 4G network. Here are the current packages and what they cost with the €3 code for your first eSIM.

Prices of data-only packages from airalo.com in euros, checked on 7 October 2026. Airalo can change its prices; the price with the code applies to a new customer’s first eSIM.

“Unlimited” has a daily limit

Unlimited packages run at full speed up to 3 GB a day, then slow to 1 Mbps until the next day. That still covers maps and messaging, but not streaming or a laptop on hotspot. The eSIM is data only, without a phone number. Data in Egypt costs more than in Turkey or Thailand, so compare a fixed package with an unlimited one for your trip length.

Which package to choose

A weekend: 1 GB for 3 days is enough for maps, messaging and the odd search.

A week: with maps, messaging and some social media most people use roughly 0.5–1 GB a day, so 5 GB covers a typical week. If you run out, you top up in the Airalo app.

Lots of photos, video or a hotspot: take an unlimited package, keeping the daily full-speed limit above in mind.

Install before you leave: the validity starts only when the eSIM first connects to a network in Egypt, so you can install it at home over Wi-Fi. Keep your main SIM switched on to stay reachable on your own number – at your operator’s roaming rates.

Resort Wi-Fi: if you spend most days at a hotel with good Wi-Fi, a small package for trips and transfers is often enough.
