Egypt has four operators: Vodafone, Orange, Etisalat and WE. Vodafone has the most reliable national coverage, including on the route between Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Red Sea coast at Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. Orange is usually the second network and performs well in most tourist destinations, while coverage in the desert becomes more limited. Networks: Vodafone, Orange, Etisalat.
For a beach holiday on the Red Sea, 3 to 5 GB is enough. If you combine that with excursions and navigation, choose a larger package because offline maps are handy in the desert.
Voice and video calls via WhatsApp, FaceTime and Skype are regularly blocked or slowed by the operators in Egypt, although ordinary messages and voice messages usually keep working.
