TL;DR
For Hurghada, travelers suggest comparing a local physical SIM with eSIMs from Trip.com, Yesim and Unisim. Trip.com is commonly mentioned as the cheaper option, while Unisim is valued for usage tracking and flexible top-ups.
Unisim may suit travelers who want app-based data management: it offers usage tracking and top-ups for any amount. It is also described as having no expiry date and no country lock-in.
For a phone without eSIM support, a practical fallback is to bring an older handset and put a physical SIM in it as a separate device for calls and data.
Trip.com and Yesim are commonly compared for travel eSIMs: Trip.com is said to be slightly cheaper, while Yesim may offer roughly €5 promo codes for a first purchase.
If your phone supports eSIM, a Trip.com eSIM is an option; travelers report it can cost less than buying a separate pocket Wi‑Fi device or eSIM adapter.
