Arriving at Sharm El Sheikh Airport (SSH)
The airport is around 15 to 20 minutes from Naama Bay, and most resorts along the coast are within half an hour. Resorts often arrange shuttles, and there is a taxi rank outside the terminal.
Data tip: switch on AloOui before baggage reclaim and send your resort your flight details so the shuttle is waiting.
Ras Mohammed and the reefs
Sharm sits at the southern tip of the Sinai, beside some of the Red Sea's best reefs. Ras Mohammed National Park and the reefs of the Strait of Tiran are classic boat trips, and divers head out to the wreck of the SS Thistlegorm.
Data tip: save the dive centre's WhatsApp number and your pickup point, as reception fades once the boat is out by the reefs.
Where you'll use your data in Sharm
- Naama Bay: the beach promenade of restaurants, bars and dive centres
- Old Market: spices, souvenirs and cafés in the old town
- Soho Square: an entertainment complex with restaurants and shows
- Desert safaris: quad bikes and Bedouin dinners under the stars
Mount Sinai and Dahab
Night tours drive about three hours to climb Mount Sinai for sunrise, visiting St Catherine's Monastery afterwards. The relaxed town of Dahab, around an hour north, is famous for the Blue Hole.
Data tip: bring a power bank and warm layers for the summit, and save your tour pickup details offline.

Sharm El Sheikh eSIM FAQs
Is the eSIM ready when my flight lands at SSH?
Yes. Switch it on after landing and it joins Orange Egypt right away.
Can I post from a Ras Mohammed boat trip?
Close to shore, yes. Out by the reefs reception fades, so post when you're back.
Will it work on a Mount Sinai sunrise hike?
Yes, along much of the route. Signal is thinner on the mountain, so save your tour details offline.
How much data do I need for 5 nights in Sharm?
Unlimited Essential for 7 days ($50.05) means you never have to watch your usage on a 5-night trip.
Does it include an Egyptian phone number?
No. Your eSIM is data-only, so you call and message through WhatsApp, FaceTime and other apps.
Is there a discount code for Sharm El Sheikh?
Yes. Use code EXTRA20 at checkout for an extra 20% off Egypt eSIM orders of $50 or more.
