North Africa eSIM Guides
All 17 North Africa guides in one index: 5 countries, 4 cities, 4 airports and the local SIM card options for each, grouped so you can plan a whole route rather than one stop.
North Africa is the one part of the continent where the networks feel like southern Europe's: fast 4G across Cairo, Casablanca, Tunis and Algiers, competitive prepaid pricing and airport kiosks that open for the first flights. What varies is how much of the country a visitor actually travels through. The Nile valley and the Moroccan imperial cities are covered end to end, while the Sahara routes in southern Algeria, Tunisia and Mauritania run for hours without signal on any network. None of these countries shares a roaming arrangement, so every border means a new SIM or a new plan.

Planning a route across North Africa?
Coverage follows the coast and the river valleys. Before any desert leg, download offline maps and leave your route with someone, because no plan reaches past the last tower.
