Does the WhatsApp messenger work in Hurghada in 2026?

In Hurghada, WhatsApp works stably and without interruptions. We tested it in different areas of the city, in hotels of various levels, and in public places—everywhere the messenger functioned correctly. There are no restrictions from Egyptian providers. However, it is important to understand that the situation with WhatsApp availability in Russia is complex—it is blocked and slowed down there. If you need to stay in constant contact with family in Russia, relying solely on WhatsApp is risky. It is better to duplicate contacts in Max—this is the only messenger that is currently not blocked in Russia and works stably.
