Should I buy an eSIM before traveling to Sharm el-Sheikh or get a local SIM card at the airport?

Both options work: buying an eSIM before departure gives instant connectivity on arrival, while a local SIM at Sharm el-Sheikh airport or in town may offer better local rates. Consider your phone's eSIM compatibility before deciding.
