Etisalat for me would be ideal as I’ll spend only about 7 days in Egypt - so if it run out of data for you in 9 days, the deal would still be good for me. Appreciate this video is 1 year old already but sure the airport still has these SIM card stores. Thanks a lot
@@shimadatattoo love hearing that! Enjoy Egypt. For some more travel inspo watch my videos on FB, definitely the one about White Desert. That is a trip I highly recommend.
Great video! I am off to Egypt and I do have the same query over buying a SIM card. Apparently that how it is usually in every country... whatever you give, this is what you get so buy the best option even though it costs you 4-5 more pounds Also I do have a drone but I do not think I will risk it bringing it in as have heard that it becomes a struggle with the customs...
No no no dont bring the drone! They made me pay $150 to get it back! SCAM! These people put the money into their own pockets! Egypt is an amazing country with lovely people, but some people will leave you a bad taste in your mouth. It is what it is!
Thanks so much for this! I'm immigrating and have to go to the Embassy in Egypt to get my visa for the country Im moving to, as there is none in my country. Will be there for 2.5 weeks waiting for my application to be processed. So thank you so much again for the insight.
It also depends on your phone, if your 4G phone has all or most of the frequency/bands that are used in Egypt, then you'll see better speeds. Otherwise it'll be mostly 3G, but of course carrier coverage is a big factor too. Did you notice if 4G was more prevalent after you got the Vodafone card?
Thank you so much for this video! I will be traveling to turkey and egypt later this month. I am curious if a vodaphone plan bought in turkey will work in egypt or do i need to get seperate plans in each country.
Hopefully someone could help. What currency should i take to egypt? I know Egyptian pounds is thre official currency but i hear they prefer dollars ? Im from the uk btw
what ive been searching cause im heading there in a few weeks is that you can pay for the visa at the airport with EURO or DOLLARS but they prefer dollars. its 25$. but in the streets of egypt u can have both EGP or Dollars, u can also withdrawl from banks as you need (the cost of that will depend on your bank rates) its advised to not have all the trip money on you the whole time.
Always use local currency for best prices! Most places do NOT take dollars. Unless you only go to tourist hotspots. If you dont want to get ripped off use local currency ALWAYS AND EVERYWHERE
Nice vdo....I needed information kindly inform me... When arrival at Cairo airport... Having Corona covid negative certificate is enough 48/72 hours... Or any other test we facing in Cairo upon arrival... Or the covid test results we provide( with us) this is ok.... Kindly inform me... Thanks...
Nooooooo! Do not bring a drone into Egypt. The people at the airport are super corrupt. So when I picked up my drone on departure they made me pay 150 USD! 😤😡🤬
@@TravelTomTom I think you do not know what you are talking about, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 have International flights arrival, maybe if you tried to be helpful instead of smart people would appreciate you.

Hello. So for a basic user, who will stay Cairo only, and just need data for Uber, email and social media, is the best Orange 16GB superunits for 150egp? Would you say so? Thx😉
My flight will landed at 1:30 AM it’s good to know that’s booth open 24/7 !!!! Thanks you!!

Glad to hear that!
I purchased Orange SIM and I was extremely happy

Thanks. But sorry I dont know what you mean and how that works. Im not so good with YT

Yes yes thatbis what im describing in the detailed article. See link in description
@@TravelTomTom Hi Tom,
Is this relevant at Sphinx airport too?
Thanks
Thanks so much for making this video. Heading to Cairo in a few days and was nervous about getting a sim. Missed the stands once before in Mexico.
Yeah it is easy to miss in the rush. But look around also easy to fins haha
Thank you for all your advice !
Happy to hear I was of any help!
thank you! Now I know where to get it! :D
Happy i was of any help. Thanks for likes and comments 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much for this video! I will be traveling to turkey and egypt later this month. I am curious if a vodaphone plan bought in turkey will work in egypt or do i need to get seperate plans in each country.
Can you check how much data you have left if you can how do you do this ?
Yes you can. I dont know the exact code. Click on the link in description. I think it is in there
Good video. Im assuming the phone has to be unlocked to use these sim cards? I am on an o2 contract( my phone has a dual sim tray. Many thanks
Yes always needs to be unlocked
I was wondering about the cost vs quality.
Hopefully someone could help. What currency should i take to egypt? I know Egyptian pounds is thre official currency but i hear they prefer dollars ? Im from the uk btw

Hi! Tks for your video! The SIM prices in the airport are the same that the prices in the city?
No! If you watch the video OR read the description I said that multiple times!
how did it go about your drone in the airport, did they take it ?
Yes they took my drone sadly. On return they demanded $120 USD to get it back and pressured me to miss my flight.
Can you get visa on arrival too at the Airport? I m holder German Pass
What stores have cheap phones pls in cario
Thank you for the information. please tell us did Vodafone pass the test?.
Yep for me it did the job
Do they have an iPhone SIM card opener device at the sim stalls?
Yes
Hello, at the airport are the sim vendor boxes open 24 hours per day ?
Yes!
Nice vdo....I needed information kindly inform me... When arrival at Cairo airport... Having Corona covid negative certificate is enough 48/72 hours... Or any other test we facing in Cairo upon arrival... Or the covid test results we provide( with us) this is ok.... Kindly inform me... Thanks...
Changes every day, dont ask me. Find the gov website
Hi. Bro nice blog. Very helpful to me. Keep it up
Thanks so much for the comment and like. I appreciate 🙏🏻
Im going for 8 days will one sim card be enough i will just be using it for maps and looking for local restaurants
Yes sure. See the guide in my description. Update a couple days ago
so did they allow the drone?
does Cairo offer eSIM
Is salah supports vodaphone then so do I lol
Haha love Salah and Liverpool
Question? Can you get a Visa at the airport ?
Yes
What about e sims?
I have already Etisalat sim card purchased from dubai will it work in Egypt😊
Make an educated guess! No
hai fatto il visto direttamente in aeroporto? Online è impossibile non riesco!
is it possible to buy a sim that is valid for more than 30 days??
I thought was not allowed drones in Egypt. What happend to your Drone?
Confiscated
I'm so sad to hear that they took your drone! Are there similar problems with bringing a laptop?
No, a laptop is no problem
Does video or voice calling on whatsapp/facetime work in Egypt?
Yes but they cut your conversation evry time
Thanks,
Hi. which plan did you go with for Vodafone?
I bought Vodafone in Cairo city center not at the airport. See the video
how did you manage to get the drone into Egypt ???
You did clearly not watched the video 😂
Did they allow you to bring your drone in to the country?
Nooooooo! Do not bring a drone into Egypt. The people at the airport are super corrupt. So when I picked up my drone on departure they made me pay 150 USD! 😤😡🤬
If you buy an Orange Network sim in Egypt will the same sim work in Jordan?
No
@@TravelTomTom Thanks
Are the buses outside of airport which goes to Cairo city 24/7?
Which terminal did you arrive at please.
There is only 1 international terminal at Cairo Airport
@@TravelTomTom I think you do not know what you are talking about, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 have International flights arrival, maybe if you tried to be helpful instead of smart people would appreciate you.
@@TravelTomTomno terminal 2 and 3 are both international

you get what you pay for
eSim does not work in Egypt. iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max use eSIM technology and are not compatible with physical SIM cards.
Yes I know. But esim does work in Egypt. I was there in Nov and it worked totally fine
@@TravelTomTom where did you get eSim for Egypt ?
@@TravelTomTomwhere you got your eSIM card? I’m going to travel to Egypt in 14 days, and I have to purchase an eSIM to my IPhone 14.
Watch out. Orange 2 Gig instead of the promised 15 Gig.
How come? Explain please…
Vodafone is faster than Etisalat and Orange, so it is more expensive, even if the same units
If you say so… Vodafone definitely has the better network, that is a fact!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
etisalat has the worst reputation in term of network. no wonders they offer great deal package... good luck for roaming thought
