tisalat is a leading international telecom company operating in 15 countries around the world. Egypt operations were launched in May 2007, with Etisalat’s entry in the Egyptian market ushering in a new era for the telecom industry there.

Today, Etisalat Misr’s robust, high quality 2G and 3G network covers and serves 99% of the inhabited areas in Egypt. Etisalat Misr is also the first and only operator in Egypt with an exclusive international gateway, and its customers enjoy competitive international rates to all destinations around the globe.
