Where to buy a SIM card or eSIM at Sharm el Sheikh airport

TL;DR

Kiosks of the main Egyptian carriers (Vodafone, Orange, Etisalat, WE) are located in the arrivals hall of Sharm el Sheikh airport and sell tourist SIM cards with data bundles. A Vodafone Egypt eSIM can also be activated right at the airport or set up in advance via an app or reseller.

What the community said

SIM cards at the airport start from $10; travelers used Etisalat and Orange with great connection. Tip: install the carrier's app before the trip (at home) so you can immediately check your data balance.

Several carrier kiosks operate side by side in the arrivals area, so travelers compare prices and data allowances on the spot — there's no single 'best' operator, offers vary depending on when you land.

A Vodafone Egypt eSIM can be set up directly at a Vodafone counter in the Sharm el Sheikh airport — check the exact price on the spot since rates change from time to time.

As an alternative to buying on arrival, some travelers suggest activating an eSIM in advance through a third-party app before the flight — this can save time and avoid queues at the airport counter.
