Good to know before you go to Egypt
Egypt has reliable signal in Cairo, Alexandria, and the Red Sea resort towns (Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh), and coverage is generally good near the main historical sites like Luxor and Aswan. It drops off in the desert between cities and on some Nile cruise stretches. A resort-and-sightseeing trip runs fine on 3-5GB a week; add more if you are navigating Cairo traffic with live maps or diving and want data to resume the moment you surface.
