Using an eSIM in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia's main mobile networks include stc, Mobily and Zain KSA. Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and the larger cities are well covered for maps, ride apps and bookings.
The country is vast, so distances between cities are long. Desert highways, the Empty Quarter, mountain roads around Asir and remote parts of the Red Sea coast can have gaps in signal.
Good to know
- Careem and Uber are widely used for rides in the big cities, and both need a data connection.
- WhatsApp messaging is widely used, but availability of voice and video calling can differ by app and change over time. Check current access in Saudi Arabia before relying on an internet-calling app.
- Download offline maps before long drives between cities, since services thin out between towns.
Saudi Arabia eSIM questions
- Will my eSIM work around AlUla and on the Red Sea coast?
- Towns and main resorts are generally served, but desert and coastal stretches away from them can lose signal. Download offline maps and keep your booking details saved before heading out.
- Can I make internet calls over WhatsApp in Saudi Arabia?
- WhatsApp messaging works over mobile data, but calling availability can differ from other internet-calling apps and change over time. Check current access in Saudi Arabia before you travel and keep another way to make important calls.
- Is signal reliable on the highways between Riyadh and Jeddah?
- Along main roads it is usually available, but long desert sections can have gaps. Save your route and bookings offline before a long drive.
