Egypt data pricing
One rate: $2.00/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance. No daily passes, no expiring bundles, no throttling tiers - unused credit stays on your eSIM forever and works in the next country you visit.
| Top-up | Data in Egypt | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | ≈ 2.5 GB | $2.00/GB |
| $10.00 | ≈ 5.0 GB | $2.00/GB |
| $20.00 | ≈ 10.0 GB | $2.00/GB |
| $50.00 | ≈ 25.0 GB | $2.00/GB |
A one-time $5 setup fee applies to a brand-new eSIM; top-ups to an existing eSIM carry no fee. Rates are pay-as-you-go, so light days cost cents and heavy days just draw down the balance faster.
Networks and speeds in Egypt
Anon eSIM connects through roaming agreements with Vodafone Egypt, with 4G LTE typically available to roamers. Your phone picks the strongest partner signal automatically and re-selects as you move - there is nothing to configure.
Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and the Red Sea resorts are covered. The Nile cruise corridor works; the open desert does not.
The APN is provisioned automatically with the eSIM profile. You do not need to enter APN settings manually on iOS or Android - the only switch you must flip is Data Roaming: ON for the Anon eSIM line, because the service is technically a roaming profile everywhere it operates.

In-country context: Egypt
Local prepaid SIM registration: mandatory. Egypt requires passport registration and blocks VoIP for local SIMs - a roaming eSIM inherits fewer of those restrictions. This is exactly the paper trail Anon eSIM avoids - your identity never touches the local carrier, because you attach as a roamer on a foreign anonymous profile.
On arrival: CAI and HRG kiosks sell tourist packs quickly - reasonable value but always registered. eSIM is on Vodafone before you leave arrivals.
Typical speeds: 10-50 Mbps on 4G LTE; congested in central Cairo. Prices from the live rates data: $2.00/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance.
Registration status
Passport required for local SIMs
Anon eSIM sidesteps this entirely - the eSIM is issued from an ID-free jurisdiction and you use it as a visitor's roaming SIM in Egypt. No local paperwork.
