Saudi Arabia takes you through Riyadh, Jeddah, AlUla and the Red Sea coast. A local connection turns each of those stops into something you can navigate, book and share as you go.
Network coverage in Saudi Arabia
Coverage in Saudi Arabia comes from Zain and STC, giving you 5G where it is deployed and 4G everywhere else. Coverage on the main highways is strong; desert tracks around AlUla are patchier. The Haramain high-speed railway between Jeddah and Medina is fully covered.
How much data do you need?
Most travellers use between 500 MB and 1 GB a day for navigation, messaging and photos. Short city breaks fit comfortably in a fixed data pack; longer trips with heavy map use are cheaper on unlimited.

Setting up your Saudi Arabia eSIM
Install the eSIM before departure and it stays inactive until it finds a network in Saudi Arabia. Your home number keeps working alongside it, which matters for two-factor codes and boarding passes.
Whether you are in Saudi Arabia for a long weekend, a work trip or several weeks on the road, the same eSIM covers it — you simply pick the amount of data that matches the length of the stay.
Prepaid, no contract and no deposit: a straightforward way to have mobile data in Saudi Arabia from the moment you arrive.
