Do you need an Egyptian SIM card for reliable Wi-Fi at a beach resort?

TL;DR

Resort Wi-Fi may cover rooms, public areas and the beach and is usually enough for messaging, but performance can vary. For reliable photo/video uploads and internet outside the hotel, getting a local Egyptian SIM is safer.

What the community said

One report found stable Wi-Fi throughout the resort, including rooms and the beach. Most apps worked without a VPN, although VK performed less reliably than other services.

Another traveler found the Wi-Fi adequate for messaging, but photo and video uploads were slow and worked best early in the morning.

There was also a positive experience with sending photos and videos during the day. The connection occasionally dropped, but reconnecting restored normal service.
