The Egypt country code is +20 — reaching all 110 million Egyptians + ~106 million mobile subscriptions across Vodafone Egypt, Orange Egypt, Etisalat Misr + WE Telecom (Telecom Egypt). The Arab world\'s most populous country + Africa\'s third largest economy.
Egypt was assigned +20 by the ITU in 1964 — placing it in zone 2 (Africa) with a single-digit suffix (only Egypt + South Africa hold single-digit zone-2 codes). Egypt is the most populous Arab country + the world's largest single-language Arabic market.
Egypt has used the +20 country code since 1964, in zone 2 alongside Morocco +212, Tunisia +216, South Africa +27, Nigeria +234 + every other African country. Egypt + South Africa are the only African countries with single-digit zone-2 codes.
Egypt's telecom regulator is NTRA (National Telecom Regulatory Authority). Four major mobile carriers operate: Vodafone Egypt (~46M subs, the largest), Orange Egypt (~32M, formerly Mobinil), Etisalat Misr (~26M, owned by UAE's Etisalat) + WE Telecom (~10M, the mobile arm of Telecom Egypt — the former state monopoly).
Egypt uses variable-length area codes (1-2 digits) with leading 0 domestically (dropped internationally). <b>2</b> Cairo + Giza (single-digit — the only ones in Egypt). <b>3</b> Alexandria. <b>95</b> Luxor, <b>97</b> Aswan, <b>65</b> Hurghada, <b>69</b> Sharm El Sheikh, <b>66</b> Port Said. Mobile numbers start with <b>10</b>, <b>11</b>, <b>12</b> or <b>15</b>.
The Arab world\'s media + cultural capital. Cairo (+20 2) is the Arab world\'s largest city + the cultural capital of Arabic-language film, music, television + news. Al-Ahram, the world\'s oldest Arabic newspaper, has been published in Cairo since 1875. Egyptian Arabic is the most understood dialect across the entire Arab world (450M+ speakers) — making a +20 line the natural caller-ID for any business serving the Middle East + North Africa from a media-powerful base. Egypt also hosts the Suez Canal, which carries ~12% of global trade.
An Egyptian phone number in international format is written as +20 [area code without leading 0] [subscriber]. Drop the leading 0 when dialing internationally. Example: +20 2 1234 5678 for Cairo (domestic 02), +20 10 1234 5678 for a Vodafone Egypt mobile (domestic 010).
Egyptian mobile numbers start with 10, 11, 12 or 15: 010 Vodafone Egypt, 011 Etisalat Misr, 012 Orange Egypt (formerly Mobinil), 015 WE Telecom. Drop the leading 0 internationally: +20 10, +20 11, +20 12, +20 15. All Egyptian mobiles are 11 digits domestic (01X NNNN NNNN).
From the Pyramids of Giza to the Library of Alexandria to the Red Sea resorts of Hurghada + Sharm El Sheikh, every Egyptian number lives behind a +20. Pick the area code that matches your customer city.
Every country uses a different exit code before +20 Egypt. From any mobile, + replaces the exit code — so +20 2 1234 5678 works worldwide. Always drop the leading 0 from the area code when dialing internationally.
