What the community said

A Kaspersky eSIM plan offers 10GB for 30 days, costing around 900 RUB with a discount. One traveler used only about 3GB in 10 days, and speed was enough for calling taxis and everyday use.

~900 RUB / 10GB / 30 days (Kaspersky eSIM)

Via Tripcom, an eSIM costs around 200 RUB for 10 days with 3GB of data — speed is decent and video calls in messenger apps work comfortably.

Another option is the UESIM eSIM: an unlimited 15-day plan costs around 3000 RUB. The SIM itself stays valid for six months, so on a future trip you only need to top up a new 15-day package instead of buying a new SIM.

~3000 RUB / unlimited / 15 days (UESIM, SIM valid 6 months)

A 2-week plan costs around 4900 RUB and includes 20GB of data plus 200 minutes of calls — a good option if you need voice calls in addition to mobile internet.

~4900 RUB / 20GB + 200 min / 14 days

SIM cards at Sharm el-Sheikh airport are available for around 1600 RUB for a 10-day plan with 30GB of data — a solid choice for a short trip.

A budget 15-day option costs around 20 EGP but comes with a 10 Mbps speed cap. Fine for messaging and light browsing, but not suitable for streaming or heavy downloads.
