Egypt Calling Code FAQ
- What is the calling code for Egypt?
- +20. From abroad, dial your exit code (or +), then 20, then the national number. If an Egypt number is written domestically with a leading 0, drop that 0 after +20.
- Is it +20 or 20?
- Same code. +20 is the portable form for contacts and mobiles. 20 is what follows an exit code, for example 011 20… from the US.
- Do I drop the leading 0?
- Yes, if the number is written domestically with a leading 0: 0XX… → +20 XX… (drop the 0 after +20).
- How do I call Egypt from the US or UK?
- From the US, dial 011 20 XX… (the number without its leading 0). From the UK and most of Europe, dial 00 20 XX… in the same way. On a mobile, you can use +20 XX… instead.
