eSIM vs physical tourist SIM card in Hurghada, Egypt — which is cheaper?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 22 days ago
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.

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.
