Italy eSIM
Data in Italy from the moment you land, without roaming or a physical SIM. Pick your plan, pay in Egyptian pounds, and install the eSIM on your phone in two minutes.
Rome, Milan, Venice and Florence: data makes trains, maps and bookings easy. If you're touring several European countries, a Europe plan may be better value.
🛡️ Buy with confidence: if you haven't installed the eSIM, you can cancel it within 30 days of purchase and get the full amount back in your Rafeeq wallet. (Excluding plans with a number and calls.)
