North Africa eSIM for named itinerary stops
Use the North Africa eSIM comparison for a booked route whose countries all appear in the selected product. Review the available data and duration against work addresses, family stays and planned visits across those named destinations.
The North Africa product lists four destinations: Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Treat that as a product list rather than a geographic definition. In Casablanca, retain the exact work address and make separate notes for a medina visit. Around Tunis, Carthage, Sidi Bou Said and La Marsa are different places, so use the town and entrance named in each booking. In Cairo, a visit to the Egyptian Museum should keep its Tahrir Square address so it is not confused with another museum. Libya, Mauritania and Nigeria are not added merely because someone associates them with the region. Coverage of a listed country also cannot establish reception inside every building or at each site.

How eSIM works in North Africa
Complete the eSIM installation over dependable Wi-Fi and store the guide, booking references and first meeting addresses where they remain available offline. Keep the profile off before travel. Once you are inside a destination named by the selected plan, choose Horizon as the mobile data line and enable data roaming for it. The first successful connection to a supported network in an included destination starts the selected validity; there is no additional manual activation step.
Install your eSIM
Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.
Land & connect
Data activates on first connection at your destination.
Size it to your trip
Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.
Recommended size

- Maps every day
- Messaging and photos
- A short call home most days
In total, a 20 GB data allowance covers roughly 6,700 shared photos, 333 hours of social media and browsing, 59 hours of video calls, 250 hours of music streaming, or about 4000 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.
Staying three weeks to a month, or using data heavily every day? That is the trip the 20 GB plan is priced for.

Why Horizon
Choose by countries, days and actual use
First match every country in the booking to the included list. Then count the complete period you intend to use data, including separate city stays, rather than choosing for one arrival alone. A Casablanca work schedule may centre on messages and documents; family days can add internet calls and photo sharing; sightseeing in Tunis or Cairo may rely more on maps, booking changes and saved tickets. Choose enough data from the plans displayed for those tasks. If you tether another device, its activity draws from the same allowance; Horizon provides hotspot sharing free of charge and does not throttle it.

Frequently asked questions
Which destinations does this North Africa eSIM include?
The selected North Africa eSIM currently includes 4 destinations: Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia. Compare each booked stop with this exact list before payment, and repeat the check after any route change.
How is it different from the Africa package?
North Africa contains Algeria, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. Horizon’s Africa package contains those four plus South Africa and Réunion. Pick according to every booked country or territory; neither regional title should substitute for reading its exact list.
Are Nigeria or other nearby countries included?
No. Nigeria, Libya and Mauritania are outside this North Africa product. Geography or proximity does not add a country. If the route contains an absent stop, check that destination by name and choose another applicable country or regional product.
When does validity start and how should I prepare?
Install the eSIM on reliable Wi-Fi and leave its line disabled before the trip. Installation alone does not consume validity. The first successful connection to a supported network in an included destination starts the chosen period, without a separate manual activation step.
How much data should I choose for several stays?
Review your own recent app use over a known period, then adjust it for the complete trip. Include maps, messages, internet calls, photo or document uploads and any laptop tasks. Compare that estimate with the live data amounts; do not assume one city’s pattern represents every stay.
Can I use hotspot and keep my home SIM?
Yes. Hotspot is free on all Horizon plans, uses the same allowance and is not throttled. This North Africa eSIM supplies data only and no local number. A compatible dual-SIM device can keep the home SIM installed, while its provider may charge for any calls, messages or data you leave active abroad.
Does the North Africa eSIM include calls and texts?
No. Horizon plans are data-only, with no phone number for calls or texts. Use apps such as WhatsApp or FaceTime over the eSIM's data, or keep your usual SIM on for ordinary calls and texts.
Do I need to turn on data roaming for the North Africa eSIM?
Yes. A travel eSIM connects to local networks as a roaming line, so turn on data roaming for the Horizon eSIM when you arrive. The plan is prepaid, so Horizon does not bill you after checkout. Keep data roaming off on your usual SIM to avoid charges from your home carrier.
What happens if I run out of data on the North Africa eSIM?
You can buy more. If your plan supports a top-up, My eSIMs shows the data you can add to the same eSIM. If it does not, buy another North Africa plan and install it the same way.
Will my phone work with the North Africa eSIM?
It will if your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to your home carrier. Many recent iPhone and Android models do, but some regional versions do not, so check your exact model on the supported devices page before you buy.
See supported devicesWill Horizon slow down my data?
No. Horizon fixed-data plans have no throttling. There is no daily limit that slows you down, so you can use your whole plan in one day if you need to. Your speed depends on the local network, your signal and how busy the network is. When your data allowance is used up, the plan stops rather than slowing down.
Can I get a refund if I already used some data?
Yes. We always refund the full amount you paid when you request it, whether your eSIM is unused, partly used or fully used. There is no time limit for requesting a refund.
