TL;DR

Many travelers just buy a new physical SIM each trip to Hurghada — that's fine and doesn't cause phone-blocking issues. eSIM is more convenient but pricier: e.g. Yesim offers 20GB for $20, Tripcom is even cheaper.

What the community said

One tip: get a 20GB eSIM for $20 via Yesim, or check Tripcom for even cheaper deals.

A common approach among travelers: buy one physical SIM for the group and share the hotspot — it's usually enough, plus wifi is decent almost everywhere.

eSIMs tend to cost noticeably more than regular tourist SIM cards, which makes some travelers hesitant.

Some travelers prefer to just buy a new physical tourist SIM on every trip to Hurghada instead of getting an eSIM — it works out cheaper.
