TL;DR
SIM cards at Sharm el-Sheikh airport cost around 1600 RUB for 10 days/30GB, or ~4900 RUB for 2 weeks with 20GB and 200 minutes. Budget options exist for around 20 EGP for 15 days but with a 10 Mbps speed cap.
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.
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.
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.
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.
