What to know about mobile data in Egypt
Egypt charges fees on imported phones used on its networks, managed through an app called Telephony. The regulator NTRA ended the general exemption for travelers' phones on 21 January 2026 but kept one for tourists, for a period of 90 days. The announcement does not say how phones on roaming are treated. Internet calling has a mixed record: users reported blocked WhatsApp, FaceTime and Skype calls in 2017, which officials denied ordering.
Before you go
- Staying beyond 90 days, or putting an Egyptian SIM in your phone? Read the NTRA's current notice on imported phones first.
- Test voice and video calls on mobile data when you arrive. If they fail, hotel Wi-Fi may behave differently.
- On Nile cruises and desert roads between cities, signal comes and goes. Download maps and tickets while you are still in Cairo, Luxor or Aswan.
