Using mobile data in Egypt: local tips
- 5G in the main destinations. Vodafone lists 5G in Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh and Dahab — but not necessarily at every hotel or excursion site.
- 4G is normal. Egyptian networks run 4G alongside 5G; if your phone shows 4G, that’s expected outside 5G areas.
- Cairo Airport Wi-Fi. Cairo Airport offers free Wi-Fi for passengers, with help kiosks in every terminal — useful for installing your eSIM on arrival.
- Uber in Cairo. Uber operates in Cairo, including airport trips, and shows prices before you book. Verify your account with your home number before you travel.
- InstaPay is for local accounts. Egypt’s InstaPay requires an Egyptian bank account and the mobile number registered with it, so visitors should rely on cards and cash.
