every country I have been to in africa has cheap sim card options with the ability to text. You should have no issues.

You get the Local SIM Card everywhere in the phone shops. If you just use it for short phone calls within Egypt a 25 LE card will be enough; sometimes they have special offers for Europe – ask around at the 3 companies (Vodafone, Mobinil, Etisalat) if you have time. Vodafone worked fine for us, it had coverage even on the Nile cruise and on the desert road between Marsa Alam and Edfu.

^Thanx for that, enjoyed your report, looks like you had a great time. It's been 14yrs since we last went to Egypt so really looking forward to it.
Kind Regards.
