eSIM for Saudi Arabia
From Riyadh's modernity to Mecca's spirituality, stay connected throughout Saudi Arabia.
Mobile internet in Saudi Arabia
An eSIM is the easiest way to stay online while travelling in Saudi Arabia. You can choose from 29 data bundles from €6.99, with sizes ranging from 1 GB to 100 GB. Need a lot of data? Unlimited bundles are available too.
In Saudi Arabia your eSIM connects to local networks such as Mobily, MTC Saudi Arabia (Zain) and STC, with 4G and 5G speeds where available.
How much data you need depends mostly on what you do while travelling. For navigation, WhatsApp and the occasional scroll through social media, 1 to 3 GB is usually plenty for a short trip. The smallest bundle for Saudi Arabia starts at 1 GB, so you never pay for more than you need. If you stream a lot of video or share photos every day, pick a larger bundle or an unlimited option.
That way you avoid high roaming charges and skip hunting for a local SIM on arrival. You keep your own number for WhatsApp and texts, and use the eSIM purely for data. Installation takes a few minutes using the QR code you receive by email.
