From the discussion, pork is not only for tourists: some local residents, including Copts, eat it as well, so it is a product you can realistically find in town.

If you do not see pork on display, that does not mean the shop does not carry it: in Hurghada it is often kept out of sight, so it is best to ask the staff directly.
