Do you need a local SIM card in Egypt if your resort has Wi‑Fi, including on the beach?

If you need to join Zoom sessions during your holiday, choose a hotel that advertises Wi‑Fi and confirm that the connection is stable enough for video calls before booking.

If you plan to stay within the resort, you may not need a SIM card: hotel Wi‑Fi can work reliably in rooms, around the property and on the beach.

For excursions, independent trips and walks outside the hotel, get a local SIM card or enable roaming, since hotel Wi‑Fi will not cover you beyond the resort.

If you only need internet in the evenings at the hotel and will not take your phone to the beach or into town, the hotel Wi‑Fi is generally sufficient.
