Orange Egypt: the network, its eSIM, and what visitors need

Orange Egypt runs one of the four networks. Its eSIM page lists tourists among the customers who can get one.

  • eSIM for tourists
  • Cairo airport: T2 and T3
  • 5G since June 2025

The short answer

Orange Egypt says all new and existing customers can get its eSIM, including tourists, through its shops or the Max it app, and that foreigners with a valid residence can get one in its shops. At Cairo airport, Orange has shops in Terminals 2 and 3 and the seasonal hall.

Orange Egypt at a glance

  • eSIM

    Orange lists tourists as eligible for its eSIM, through its shops or the Max it app, and says foreigners with a valid residence can get one in its shops.

What this means for the eSIM on this site

The plans on this site are not lines from this network. They are Africa regional plans that roam on an Egyptian partner network, and your phone shows that network’s name once it connects. Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line only.

A line bought in a shop in Egypt needs your original passport and a document for your permitted stay, and it is linked to that stay. An eSIM bought here is installed at home, before the flight.

Questions

Do I need to be in Egypt to set up an Orange eSIM?

Orange's eSIM runs through its shops or its app; buying a line in a shop means being in Egypt. A plan bought on this site installs at home before you fly.
