How the Daily Data plan works
This plan gives you 1GB of full-speed data every day, renewing roughly every 24 hours for the number of days you choose (7, 15 or 30). If you use your daily 1GB, your connection does not stop - it continues at a reduced 1 Mbps speed until the next day starts, so you are never fully cut off. Hotspot is supported, same as on our standard plans. Choose your total trip length when you buy: the number of days is fixed at purchase, and extra days cannot be added to the same eSIM later - buy a new plan if your trip runs longer than planned.
Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked device. Check the Device Compatibility page before buying, and see the Fair Usage Policy for how the allowance is measured.

Saudi Arabia travel data eSIM
What is a Saudi Arabia eSIM?
A Saudi Arabia eSIM gives travelers a ready‑to‑use data connection the moment they land in the Kingdom. After installing the profile at home, the eSIM activates on arrival, letting you browse, navigate and stay in touch without swapping physical SIMs. It’s ideal for exploring the desert, visiting historic sites, or moving between cities such as Riyadh and Jeddah, ensuring you remain online throughout your stay.
Our Saudi Arabia eSIM connects to the STC 5G network, so data usage follows the plan you choose. Whether you need a few gigabytes for a short city break or a larger allowance for a longer journey, the plan’s validity begins when you first connect within Saudi borders and runs for the specified number of days.

Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Saudi Arabia
When you activate the eSIM in Saudi Arabia it links to STC’s 5G infrastructure. The actual reach of the service depends on the operator’s network in the area you are visiting, so you’ll have data wherever STC’s network is present, whether you’re in a bustling metropolis or a remote desert region.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Saudi Arabia eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM connects to STC’s 5G network. For travelers, this provides access to the same mobile services as local STC customers, using the operator’s existing infrastructure.
Can the Saudi Arabia eSIM be used in a neighbouring country, such as Jordan?
No, the plan is limited to Saudi Arabia. Regional eSIM options are available for travelers who need connectivity across multiple countries.
Which plan size suits a trip that includes Riyadh and Jeddah?
As a rough guide, the 5 GB or 10 GB 30‑day plans often cover typical data needs for two major cities, balancing usage for navigation, apps, and occasional streaming.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
