Hi all. I'm Starting my trip on April 5th and have a few questions I hope you can help me out with, like how easy it to get a new sim-card for my phone and is the service any good(is it worth getting a sim-card? will my phone need to be unlocked or anything for the sim-card to work??) Im with Vodafone at the moment!

Also Do you have time to do washing on the tour or is it best to take enough cloths to last ya?

Thanks in advance,

Kate

You're best bet is to talk to Vodafone. But apparently cell service is ok in Egypt, plenty of people were using them there.

Hey Kate,

Take enough clothes to last you because the tour is constantly moving so drying them is nearly impossible. I didn't take my phone but most people did and just used international roaming. Don't rely on sorting out your phone in Egypt, in fact try not to have to rely on anything in Egypt haha. It will be too much stress to bother, guaranteed.

Have a great time!
