Why travelers buy the eSIM before flying
Land connected
Install before you fly and connect the moment you land at Riyadh (RUH) or Jeddah (JED) — email, maps and your ride-hailing app work from the arrivals hall.
No counter, no registration
Local SIMs mean counters and ID registration. The eSIM is bought online, delivered by email, and connects with nothing to sign and nothing to queue for.
Keep your own number
The eSIM runs alongside your physical SIM: your number stays active for calls, texts and banking codes while data runs on the Saudi networks.
Coverage across the Kingdom
Plans run on Saudi Arabia's established networks — STC, Mobily and Zain — with 5G where the network and your phone support it. That means solid coverage in Riyadh and Jeddah, the Eastern Province business hubs of Dammam and Al Khobar, heritage and events destinations like AlUla and Diriyah, and along the highways and the Haramain high-speed rail. Whether you're in for a week of meetings, a Saudi Seasons event or a longer family stay, one plan covers the whole trip. See the network & coverage page for full details.
Saudi Arabia eSIM FAQ
How much does a Saudi Arabia eSIM cost?
Prepaid Saudi Arabia eSIM plans start from $5.62, depending on data size and validity. The price you see is the price you pay — no roaming charges, no contracts, nothing auto-renews.
Does the eSIM work in Riyadh, Jeddah and the rest of the country?
Yes. Plans cover the whole of Saudi Arabia, connecting to STC, Mobily and Zain — the same eSIM works in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Al Khobar, Madinah, AlUla and everywhere in between, including on the Haramain high-speed rail.
Can I buy a Saudi eSIM before I fly?
Yes — that's the best way to do it. Buy online, install the QR code over WiFi at home, and switch the line on when you land at Riyadh (RUH), Jeddah (JED) or any other airport. You're online before passport control, with no SIM counter queues.
Do I need to register a SIM with my passport in Saudi Arabia?
Not with a travel eSIM. Buying a local SIM in Saudi Arabia involves ID registration at a counter or store; a prepaid travel eSIM skips all of that — you buy online, scan the QR code and connect. Nothing to register, nothing to hand over.
Is it good for a business trip?
Yes — it's built for exactly that. Install before you fly, land connected for email, maps and ride-hailing, and expense one clean upfront price instead of a surprise roaming bill. Your own number stays active on your main SIM for calls and texts.
How do I get the eSIM after paying?
Instantly by email: your QR code and step-by-step install instructions arrive as soon as payment completes. Scan it in your phone's settings and the plan is ready to activate on arrival.
Will my phone work with a Saudi Arabia eSIM?
Any unlocked, eSIM-capable phone works: iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and many others. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, your phone supports eSIM.
Can I hotspot / tether with it?
Yes, tethering is supported, so you can share data with a laptop or a travel companion's phone. Pick a bigger plan if you'll hotspot a lot — it uses data quickly.
