TL;DR

The simplest option is to buy a local physical SIM on arrival at Sharm El Sheikh Airport. The discussions do not provide verified prices or a comparison with city shops and eSIMs, so check the tariff before paying.

What the community said

A local SIM can be bought immediately after arriving at Sharm El Sheikh Airport; it was mentioned as a regular option for having mobile data from the first day.

If considering an eSIM instead of a local SIM, compare its price and data allowance with the airport tariff in advance: the discussions contain no verified prices to identify the cheaper option.

Mobile data is particularly useful away from the hotel if you plan to book rides through inDrive. Hotel Wi‑Fi can help order a trip from the hotel, but for the return journey it is better to have connectivity or arrange with the driver in advance.
