Frequently Asked Questions

Saudi Arabia eSIM

Buy the Airlivo Saudi Arabia eSIM online, install it before you fly by scanning the QR code, then switch it on when you land in Jeddah, Riyadh or Medina. There's no physical SIM to collect and no biometric registration — you're connected the moment the local network is detected, which is ideal for pilgrims arriving for Umrah or Hajj.
The Airlivo Saudi Arabia eSIM connects to a top network such as STC, Mobily or Zain, all with advanced 5G and near-total 4G coverage. Speeds are excellent in Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina and along the main highways; STC tends to be strongest in suburban and desert areas.
Yes. Mecca, Medina and the holy sites have strong coverage, and during Hajj and peak Umrah the operators add temporary towers and extra capacity to handle the huge crowds — STC and Mobily tend to cope best with the density. Signal around the Grand Mosque and Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is reliable, though the very busiest moments can slow things down.
Yes. The Nusuk app, which carries your Hajj or Umrah permit, works on your eSIM data (and is often zero-rated on local networks), but you still need data for maps, messaging and video calls home. For a typical 7-10 day pilgrimage, 3-7 GB suits moderate use; budget 7-10 GB or unlimited if you'll video-call family a lot.
Yes. Saudi Arabia lifted its old VoIP restrictions, so WhatsApp and FaceTime voice and video calls now work on both local networks and travel eSIMs across most of the country. It's an easy, free way to call family back home over your eSIM data during your trip.
On Wi-Fi at home, open the email from Airlivo and scan the QR code to install the eSIM, leaving it switched off. When you land, turn on the eSIM line and enable data roaming. Installing before you travel means you're connected the moment you arrive — handy for opening Nusuk or booking a ride at the airport.
Choose by trip length and usage: Airlivo Saudi Arabia data plans run from 1 GB up to 50 GB and unlimited. For an Umrah trip with maps, Nusuk and calls home, 5-10 GB is a comfortable fit; a longer stay or lots of video calls suits an unlimited plan. Buy and install before you fly so you land connected.
No, it's data only and doesn't include a Saudi number. You call and message over the internet with WhatsApp, FaceTime or similar apps, and your own number stays active on your main SIM for anything that needs it, such as bank verification codes.
It works nationwide, so it activates as soon as you land at any Saudi airport — Jeddah (JED), the main gateway for Mecca, Medina (MED) for Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, or Riyadh (RUH). Turn on data roaming for the eSIM line after landing and you're online right away, ready for Nusuk, maps and transport.
A travel eSIM is the easiest option, especially for pilgrims: you install it before you fly and it activates on landing, with no shop queue and no biometric registration. A local physical SIM requires showing your passport and registering in person. With the eSIM your home number also stays active on your main SIM.

Travel Tips

Saudi Arabia — Useful tips for your trip

1

The currency is the Saudi riyal (SAR). Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay are accepted almost everywhere, from malls to taxis, but keep some cash for souks, small eateries and tips. ATMs are plentiful; airport exchange desks give poorer rates.

2

Dress modestly across the Kingdom — cover shoulders and knees; women no longer need an abaya but should dress conservatively, and a scarf is useful at religious sites. Note that the holy cities of Mecca and central Medina are open to Muslims only.

3

Saudi Arabia is very hot, often above 40°C in summer, and the holy sites get extremely crowded. Carry water and sun protection, use the cooler morning and evening hours, and pace yourself — the comfortable season is roughly November to March.

4

Set up the Nusuk app (and any pilgrimage or visa apps) before you travel and keep them updated — they carry your permit and bookings. They run on your eSIM data, so you can access them anywhere around the holy sites.

5

Saudi Arabia uses the UK-style three-pin Type G plug at 230V. Bring a UK/Saudi adapter, as not every hotel provides one.

6

Uber, Careem and Jeeny all operate in the big cities and around the holy sites, with fixed in-app fares that are easier than negotiating with drivers. They run on your eSIM data; set up an account and payment method before you go.

7

Many shops and restaurants briefly close during the five daily prayer times, so plan around them. During Ramadan, eating, drinking and smoking in public during daylight are avoided out of respect — but evenings come alive after the fast.

Saudi Arabia — Mecca and Medina, the ancient Nabataean city of Al-Ula, Riyadh and a rapidly opening tourism destination with thousands of years of history. Order your eSIM, get your QR code instantly, set up before you fly. Connected in Riyadh, Jeddah and everywhere, no roaming.
