    Last year I bought an Orange Sim Card at Cairo Airport on arrival and I was very happy with it. Good amount of GB for 3 weeks for a reasonable price. And the guy at the Orange Desk was very helpful with setting up the phone because all the messages you get are in Arabic. :)

      That is correct. Service is good, you just gotta be prepared to pay a couple dollars more

    Dude, good stuff but if you had a better camera especially with better "sound quality" you'd be crushing it even more. (Says the guy with 50 subs and awful sound quality, I gotta work on that too...)

    • @TravelTomTom
      @TravelTomTom  2 роки тому

      Haha yeah everything is just iPhone and you are right about the sound quality. Sometimes it is cringe.... hahahaha. But yeah I make videos just for informing people. May be if I go more pro, I will buy a suitable camera. I like photography too much and already have a beast of a camera in my hand luggage to shoot instagram photos.

I know that a bigger camera is good to have but a bit of a drag to carry and use. You put a lot of effort in editing and filming so you might as well make the most of it! I'll head to Egypt tomorrow btw so thanks for the tips, cheers man!

    I watched the entire video, read the blog and still haven't found the essential info about Egyptian sim cards. The very important question you missed to answer: Is tethering possible with those tourist sim cards in Egypt? As a lot of providers around the world block tethering! Thanks

    • @TravelTomTom
      @TravelTomTom  Рік тому

      Yes tethering is possible. The days that tethering in many countries around are blocked are over long ago. Tethering is in 99/100 possible nowadays. In fact I cant even remember which country this blocks tethering on prepaid sim cards.

    • @vladk597
      @vladk597 Рік тому

      @@TravelTomTom That's not quite true. It's not about country. It depends on the provider. For instance in Panama, I use Tigo. That provider blocks tethering but not sure about other providers in Panama. Moreover, many providers block tethering while roaming. Roaming is another topic, though.

      Hi , he meant that here in Egypt, mobile network providers plans are somewhat different from what you can find in other countries,
      Here , most selling plans offers you units rather than GB + calls + sms s
      You can use units as you need , , if you call someone, or text someone, or surfing the Web, , you use from your available units
      Unit = 1 megabyte
      Unit = 1 minute " for the same operator "
      5 units = 1 minute to another operator
      Sms cost u 5 units
      And it is very annoying thing , and pricy
