Sanft, einfach, funktioniert einfach. Nutze es wieder.
Schnelle Aktivierung und stabile Verbindung. Sehr praktisch 🌟 Habe es während meiner Reise auf Madeira benutzt.
Wundervoller Service, habe eine eSIM für Großbritannien erhalten. Hatte keine Probleme.
Früher hatte ich 3 Handys, aber die Internetverbindung war nicht die beste, deshalb habe ich angefangen, Blikst zu benutzen, und ich finde es sehr nützlich.
The Blikst Egypt eSIM runs on Orange Egypt, one of the country's four main operators alongside Vodafone, Etisalat/e& and WE. You get 3G and 4G speeds across Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and most of the popular tourist routes. It is a well-established network, so in the places travellers actually spend their time you will have solid, reliable connectivity throughout your trip.
Greater Cairo, including Zamalek, Garden City, Maadi, Heliopolis and Giza, has solid 4G, as does Alexandria along the Corniche and inland. Luxor, Aswan, the Valley of the Kings and Philae get good 4G, and the Red Sea resorts of Hurghada, El Gouna, Sharm El Sheikh and Dahab have strong 4G. Be aware the Western Desert (Bahariya, Farafra, Siwa) is thinner, with 3G in towns and long offline stretches on desert drives. Nile cruises have signal near cities and docks but patchy coverage in between.
Right after purchase you receive a confirmation email with your eSIM details, then you scan the QR code to install the profile. Do this over Wi-Fi before you fly. The eSIM activates automatically when you arrive in Egypt, so once you land at Cairo (CAI), Sharm El Sheikh (SSH), Hurghada (HRG) or Luxor (LXR), simply switch off airplane mode and the plan registers on Orange Egypt. The airport taxi into the city is a perfect first test.
Most modern smartphones are fully compatible with Blikst eSIMs, though a few exceptions exist, so check our detailed compatibility list to confirm your device works. On an iPhone you can verify eSIM support under Settings, General, About by looking for an EID number; on Android it appears in your network settings. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. If in doubt, our compatibility list is the quickest way to be sure before you travel.
It depends on your itinerary. A one-week Cairo, Luxor and Aswan classic loop, including a Nile cruise leg, runs comfortably on 3 to 5 GB. A two-week trip adding Red Sea diving at Sharm or Hurghada fits 10 GB. Researchers or long-stay visitors in Cairo typically use around 20 GB a month. Backpackers doing the Western Desert oases need less than expected, as that part is mostly offline, so 5 GB covers the trip.
Yes, tethering and hotspot use are supported, so you can share your connection with a laptop, tablet or a travel companion's phone. This is handy in a Cairo hotel where the Wi-Fi can be slow, or when several of you are coordinating on the road. Keep in mind that hotspotting and heavy uploads, such as dive videos or photo backups, drain data faster, so save big uploads for reliable hotel Wi-Fi where you can.
This is a data-only plan, so it does not come with a local Egyptian phone number for traditional calls or SMS. In practice that is rarely a problem, as you can call and message over the internet using apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime or Messenger. WhatsApp in particular is how tour guides, Red Sea dive operators and Nile cruise agents communicate. Because the eSIM is a separate digital line, your physical home SIM can stay in the phone, keeping your usual number active.
US, UK and EU carriers typically charge around 10 to 12 dollars a day for Egypt roaming, so a Blikst plan is noticeably cheaper for something like a one-week Cairo, Luxor and Aswan loop. You can buy a cheap Vodafone or Orange prepaid SIM at Cairo International, but registration requires your passport and can be slow, especially on late-night arrivals. A Blikst eSIM simply activates the moment you land, with no queue or paperwork.
