Calling Egypt

How to phone Egypt from the UK

Egypt uses the country code +20.

From the United Kingdom you need to dial:

0020
then the full national number minus any leading 0

Example

Egypt number: 0123 1234567
Dialled from the UK as: 00 20 123 1234567

Numbers beginning with +20

Sometimes, the number you want to call may already be written out including the +20 country code. For example:

  • +20 123 1234567
  • +20 (0)123 1234567

In such cases, you just replace the '+' with the UK international access code of 00 and ignore any reference to '(0)'. Both the examples above would be dialled as: 00 20 123 1234567.

To call a United Kingdom landline or mobile phone from Egypt, dial 00 44, then the UK number without its leading zero.

For example, the UK number 01632 312829 should be dialled as 00 44 1632 312829 from Egypt.
