💡 Planning to work remotely from Egypt? Here are a few things to keep in mind as a digital nomad:
1. 📶 Mobile coverage is inconsistent—even in Cairo, you may struggle to get a signal in some areas.
2. 🔄 If your work requires a constant connection, have a backup (local SIM, eSIM, or portable hotspot)
3. 🏨 Paid hotel internet is often just a replacement for free Wi-Fi, not an upgrade—and it's usually pricey.
4. 🚫 Some hotels may not offer Wi-Fi at all.
5. 🏜️ The more rural the area, the worse the connectivity.
6. 📱 A 4G mobile connection is often more stable than hotel Wi-Fi for video calls.
7. 🏠 Even in private homes, expect random internet restarts.
8. 📉 Average speeds hover around 10 Mbps in the best spots.
9. 🎥 For Zoom/Google Meet calls, stick to 4G when possible for better stability.
10. 📊 Broadband internet is usually prepaid and metered. In guesthouses or private homes with "free internet," expect occasional data outages—you’ll likely need to contact staff or your landlord to top it up.
