Egypt Country Code

Egypt’s phone code is the telephone country code that is used for phone communications when a call is placed from outside of the country.

Egypt’s Country Code is +20

Egypt’s country code is +20. The country code is necessary only when dialing a phone number to make a telephone call from another country. International callers who wish to dial a telephone number in Egypt should dial Egypt’s telephone country code (+20) before the national telephone number preceded by area code.

All national phone numbers in Egypt are eight or nine digits long – aa bbb bbbb, with aa being the area code followed by the local phone number. Always delete the trunk code “0” when calling from overseas. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in Egypt using the country code:

Step 1. Enter your country’s exit code on your phone. If you are calling from Europe please enter the 00 (or “+” sign if calling from a mobile device) or 011 if calling from the United States. American callers use the “011” exit code for all international call, including Egypt.

Step 2. Dial 20, Egypt’s country code.

Step 3. Then enter Egypt’s area code. Don’t use the trunk code “0” when calling from outside of the country.

Step 4. Right after the area code, dial the national phone number you wish to call in Egypt.

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 20 aa bbb bbbb (or +20 aa bbb bbbb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 20 aa bbb bbbb

Egypt’s area codes are 1-2 digit long codes that are used for long-distance calling inside the country. Please do not enter the trunk “0” when calling overseas. Here are some Egypt’s area codes:

If you wish to dial a phone number from outside Egypt, you would have to dial first the exit code, then Egypt’s country code 20. 

For example, if you want to dial a phone number in Arish, this would be an example of a phone number: +20 68 bbb bbbb or 0020 68 bbb bbbb, and 011 20 68 bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

Egypt’s mobile phone numbers are operated by four mobile phone companies – Orange, Vodafone, Etisalat, and We.

The mobile phone codes in Egypt are: 10, 11, 12 and 15. When dialing a mobile phone number from outside of the country, first you need to dial the exit code (for example, “011” or “+” sign if calling from the United States), then Egypt’s country code “20”, plus the ten digit phone number including mobile code.

For example, enter 011 20 10 bbbb bbbb or +20 10 bbbb bbbb if calling from the United States.
