TL;DR
Travelers in the chat most often mention buying an Orange SIM locally in Hurghada and choosing a package from the data-price list. For an 11-night stay, 50 GB was more than enough even when using hotspot for a second phone.
For a local tourist SIM in Hurghada, Orange is the operator mentioned most often in the discussion. One traveler specifically asked which provider to buy, which shows Orange is one of the standard tourist options people consider there.
Travelers bought the Orange SIM directly on arrival in Hurghada, without pre-ordering anything. The sales point had a data-package price list, so they could choose a plan based on the number of GB.
For an 11-night trip, an Orange 50 GB package turned out to be far more than enough: they used less than half of it even while tethering to a second phone. For a standard holiday, that amount of data seems very generous.
One practical tip mentioned was to use the Egyptian Orange SIM in an older spare phone and then test it again on future trips. Travelers see this as a low-risk way to experiment with a local SIM setup.
