  • eSIM activated upon landing, no queues

    I had purchased my voilà eSIM from France and installed it before taking my flight to Egypt. Upon arrival at Cairo airport, I only had to activate my line in the settings: fast 4G connection in an instant. I was able to order my transfer to the hotel and use Google Maps without searching for a SIM card shop. A real time-saver after several hours of flight, and in terms of security, no passport to hand over at a local operator's counter.

  • Perfect eSIM plan for a holiday in Hurghada

    We chose voilà eSIM for our summer vacation in Hurghada and it was a very practical solution. On my Galaxy S24 Ultra, I mainly used the Internet for WhatsApp, Instagram and to check out excursions offered on the Red Sea. Thanks to the eSIM, I especially appreciate being able to keep my French SIM card while having access to the Internet during vacation. When our 5 GB ran out, I was able to top up in two clicks: you just need to add a plan from the app.

  • Very good experience with my eSIM in Luxor

    I used my voilà eSIM for several days in Luxor, particularly to organize my visits and find the various temples on Google Maps, from Karnak to the Valley of the Kings. I wanted to avoid roaming charges from my operator in France, a very expensive international option outside of Europe, and the voilà eSIM plan perfectly met my needs. The local partner network, Vodafone or Orange, held up everywhere in town. Installation was simple and I didn't need to handle my physical SIM card. Only downside: the signal weakens deep inside some tombs, but it returns as soon as you exit. One evening around 11 p.m., a real person from the team replied to me within minutes: human customer service is available 24/7.

  • Practical Egypt eSIM for a tour between Cairo and Alexandria

    For my trip to Egypt, I had planned several stops between Cairo and Alexandria. So I preferred to buy an eSIM rather than looking for a local SIM card at every stop, especially since airport kiosks offer Egyptian SIMs that require a passport and a bit of patience to activate. I could use my usual apps, book my Ubers safely, and check my itineraries, with good 4G coverage in both cities. Very practical for traveling without any hassle.

  • One month in Egypt with an affordable eSIM plan

    I stayed in Egypt for a month and was looking for an eSIM plan that wouldn't cost me too much. After comparing several offers, including Holafly's unlimited plan, which was more than twice as expensive for the same duration, I chose voilà eSIM, which I had already tested in the United States last summer: 20 GB over 30 days for less than $35. I regularly used the Internet to read my messages, find restaurants around me, and send a few photos to my loved ones. I never needed an unlimited connection, nor even to top up. An interesting solution to avoid international roaming charges.

  • voilà eSIM used during a Nile cruise

    We took a Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor, and I had purchased an eSIM to stay connected during the trip. I particularly used it during the stops in Kom Ombo, Edfou, and Esna to find places to visit and contact our tour leader. The signal sometimes drops between two stops, but 4G connectivity returns quickly. The boat's Wi-Fi was slow, so I connected my wife's tablet to my line. A friend had taken Holafly for the same itinerary and paid much more. It was much simpler than having to buy a SIM card on-site.

  • Easy installation of my plan before departure

    I bought my Egypt eSIM plan a few days before my departure. The app displays "Install your eSIM": a QR code to scan, and on my iPhone 15 Pro, everything was ready in an instant. Once I arrived near the Pyramids of Giza, I was able to easily take photos, send videos to my family, check tourist information, and share my journey. I was mostly afraid that the installation would be complicated, but in the end, everything was quite intuitive. Full marks, well deserved.

  • Good value for money for my eSIM in Dahab

    Before leaving for Dahab, I compared the eSIM plans of several providers, including Holafly and Airalo, to find the best offer suited to my budget. I finally chose voilà eSIM for its excellent value and simplicity: 10 GB for less than $20, without even searching for a discount code. Most importantly, I wanted to be able to use my messaging apps, check my bookings, and access the Internet while traveling through Sinai. One small downside: you must make sure to select the correct line for data in your settings, otherwise the iPhone will stay on the French SIM. An interesting alternative to SIM cards sold at the airport.

  • Two weeks in Egypt with voilà eSIM, very practical for traveling

    We spent two weeks in Egypt this summer with several stops on the itinerary: Cairo, Luxor, then Hurghada. Holafly only sold unlimited plans, which was too expensive for fifteen days for two people, so I had purchased a voilà eSIM before departure so I wouldn't have to worry about connectivity once on-site. It was practical for organizing our trips, booking certain activities, paying online securely, accessing our travel insurance, and sharing our photos with family. Midway through, I had to top up 5 GB from my account: the app offers top-ups from 1 to 20 GB, and it is fast. I recommend comparing Egypt eSIM plans before departure to choose the data amount suited to your trip.

  • eSIM to enjoy Marsa Alam without changing your SIM

    I went to Marsa Alam for a vacation primarily focused on diving and relaxation. I absolutely wanted to keep my primary number accessible to receive my messages and, for security purposes, my bank validation codes. I had looked at Holafly, but their offer in Egypt only exists as unlimited, which is unnecessary for a week of diving. voilà eSIM was therefore the ideal solution: my primary SIM stays in my Pixel 8 and the virtual SIM handles the data, on the Orange network. I was able to use my Egyptian data plan for my applications throughout the entire stay, even far from the city center, across the whole region. For me, voilà eSIM is clearly the best Egypt eSIM, with the best local network.
