Install before you leave home
Buy a Saudi Arabia package, install the eSIM on Wi-Fi at home, and land in Jeddah or Madinah already on STC, Mobily or Zain. Validity starts when the phone first sees a Saudi tower, not when you pay.
Coverage where it matters
- Makkah and the Haram: dense 5G, built for crowd capacity.
- Madinah and the Prophet’s Mosque: the same.
- Jeddah airport to the Haramain train: continuous 5G.
- Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah during Hajj: LTE/5G on the pilgrimage routes; the tents can get congested at peak hours.
How much data
WhatsApp, maps and a few calls home: 3 GB for Umrah. Hajj with photos, group chats and translation apps: 10 GB is the comfortable pick. Hotspot to a tablet is included if you are travelling with family.
Family groups
Buy one eSIM per phone in a single order. Each pilgrim scans their own QR. You see everyone’s remaining data in one dashboard and can top up any of them — even at 0 GB.
