Important Buying Tips
Requirements: You must present your physical passport. A photo or copy is often not accepted at airport kiosks.
Payment: While some kiosks accept USD or EUR, it is best to pay in Egyptian Pounds (EGP) or by credit card to avoid poor exchange rates.
Activation: Ensure the staff activates the SIM and you see the 4G/5G icon on your phone before leaving the counter. It usually takes 5–10 minutes.
Avoid Hotel Shops: SIM cards sold inside resorts are significantly more expensive and may not be official "Tourist Lines," leading to registration issues later.

If your phone supports eSIM and you want to skip airport queues, you can buy an international plan before landing:
Airalo: Around $25.50 for 3GB (valid 30 days).
Holafly: Offers unlimited data packages starting at ~$20 for 3 days.
Local eSIM: Local carriers now offer eSIMs for roughly 350 EGP, but these usually still require in-person passport registration at the airport.
