Saudi Arabia eSIM Setup for Umrah: Step-by-Step

Setting up your Saudi Arabia eSIM for Umrah takes about five minutes, and you only do it once. The trick is to install it at home over Wi‑Fi before you fly, then simply switch it on when you land in Jeddah, Makkah or Madinah.

Before you start

• Make sure your phone is eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked.
• Have Wi‑Fi and the QR code from your CometSIM order email ready.

Install on iPhone

1. Open Settings → Mobile Service → Add eSIM.
2. Tap Use QR Code and scan the code from your email.
3. Label it (e.g. “Umrah”) and finish.
4. Leave the line off until you land; then turn it on and enable Data Roaming for that line.

Install on Android

1. Open Settings → Network & Internet → SIMs → Add eSIM.
2. Scan the QR code and confirm the download.
3. On arrival, set the eSIM as your data line and turn on Data Roaming.

When you arrive in Saudi Arabia

Turn the eSIM line on and you’ll connect to a local network automatically — you’re online for maps, messaging and calls home straight away. Your validity typically starts on first connection, not at purchase, so installing early costs you nothing.
