The short answer
Egypt and Jordan make a classic two-country trip: the pyramids and the Nile, then a flight or the Red Sea ferry to Aqaba and on to Petra. I priced the six regional Middle East plans for it and checked which ones list both countries. For two weeks or a month I would buy Ringo Light, and I explain below why the two-week sum is closer than it looks.
Unlimited data at full speed in 12 countries, Egypt and Jordan included, one eSIM: 2 weeks at $45.99 or 30 days at $62.99, nothing renews. Airalo asks $79 for 15 days and $99 for the month.
10 GB for 30 days at $25 and 20 GB at $45 across 10 countries, on stc, du, Zain, Ooredoo and others. No unlimited plan for the region.
Menalink covers 13 countries including Israel and Palestine. 3 days of unlimited at $24, 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps.
11 countries from Armenia and Azerbaijan to Egypt and the UAE, days not gigabytes. $42.90 for a week; sharing limited to 1 GB a day.
Prices read on 25 October 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

The prices, charted
Regional plans, US dollars, 25 October 2026. Ringo Light sells 2 weeks, the others 15 days. Ubigi's 15 days is 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps. Saily and Nomad sell no unlimited plan for the region.
The 30-day regional plan at each brand. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed. Ubigi's month is 60 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps.
Holafly sells no buckets; Saily's 10 GB regional price was not listed on the day. Ringo Light sells no bucket either: its 2 weeks is unlimited and lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days.

What to do in Egypt and Jordan, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places most trips across the two countries include, from the pyramids and the Nile to Petra and Wadi Rum, with the one thing your data does for you at each. Both countries are on Ringo Light's list.
One plan for both countries: Ringo Light
Egypt and Jordan sit a short flight apart, and a regional eSIM means you never shop for signal on arrival. Install it before you leave, and it picks a local partner network in Cairo and again in Amman. No swap of SIMs, no second QR code.
Ringo Light's Middle East plan costs $45.99 for 2 weeks and $62.99 for 30 days, both unlimited at full speed. Airalo asked $79 for 15 days and $99 for the month on the same day, Holafly $84.50 and $161.50, Ubigi $88 and $149 for a fixed amount of data, then 2 Mbps.
Here is the honest sum of Ringo Light's two country plans. Egypt's 2 weeks is $18.99 and Jordan's $26.99 on their own pages, $45.98 together, one cent less than the $45.99 Middle East plan that covers both. For two weeks the price is a tie, so the reason to take the regional plan is one install, not savings. For a month it is $40.99 and $49.99, $90.98 together, against $62.99.
If you stay only a week in one country, Ringo Light has no 7-day plan. Airalo sells a week at $41 and Holafly at $42.90, and I would buy one of those.
Which plans cover both countries
Ringo Light lists both Egypt and Jordan, as does Holafly. My Middle East post puts Airalo and Nomad on both Egypt and Jordan too, but I did not read each country by name on the day, so check the list before you pay.
Ubigi's Best Middle East plan leaves out Egypt, so it fails this trip. Saily lists 19 countries, but I could not read the names on the day.
If you want a data bucket: Nomad or Airalo
- Nomad, $25 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB, and 20 GB at $45, both for 30 days. A good fit if you mostly use hotel Wi-Fi.
- Airalo, $30 for 10 GB. Menalink 10 GB for 30 days, 20 GB for $47.50, buckets from $6.50 for 1 GB.
- Ubigi, $39 for 10 GB. Without Egypt on its list, I would skip it here.
- Saily, buckets only. Its 10 GB and 20 GB regional prices were not listed on the day.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. The 2 weeks is unlimited for $45.99 and the month unlimited for $62.99. For 10 GB alone, Nomad at $25 and Airalo at $30 cost less. I would buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket.
What Ringo Light is
Ringo Light is the data eSIM Ringo sells to fund the full Ringo, a plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. I write for Ringo, so weigh that. For the Middle East it sells one eSIM for 12 countries and two trips, both unlimited at full speed: 2 weeks at $45.99 and 30 days at $62.99. Nothing renews.
It arrives by email in seconds and installs with one scan, no app. The card to buy it is further up this page, after the table.
Pick by trip
Airalo 7 days at $41 or Holafly at $42.90. Ringo Light has no 7-day plan.
I would buy Ringo Light, 2 weeks, $45.99. Nothing else with unlimited data costs less than $79 for 15 days.
I would buy Ringo Light, 30 days, $62.99, against $99 at Airalo.
Nomad 10 GB for 30 days at $25, once you confirm both countries are on its list.
Ringo Light for two weeks. Download films and maps before you board, because data fades between towns on the river.
None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
