Saudi Arabia Daily eSIM — Never Run Out of Data
Daily-renewing data plan for your Saudi Arabia trip: choose 500MB–10GB high-speed data per day and the exact number of days you need (1–30 days). Once your daily high-speed allowance is exhausted, speeds are reduced — maps and messaging still work, unlike fixed-data plans where connectivity drops entirely.

- Speed after the daily cap depends on the plan: 1 Mbps on 3GB, but only 384 Kbps on 10GB. A bigger plan doesn’t mean faster speeds once the cap is reached.

Using mobile data in Saudi Arabia: local tips
- Check the official coverage map. The regulator CST’s interactive map shows coverage by operator and location — check it before desert or mountain excursions.
- Use a 4G/5G phone. STC has 5G in around 75 Saudi cities and has been switching off 3G, so older 3G-only phones may struggle.
- Riyadh Metro with Darb. The official Darb app plans Riyadh Metro and bus trips in English, tracks buses live and issues QR e-tickets.
- Haramain high-speed train. The official HHR Train app lets you book Makkah–Madinah trains in English, pay with Visa or Mastercard and receive tickets by email.
- Set up Careem at home. Careem needs a mobile number and a code sent by SMS or WhatsApp — register with your own number before you travel.
- Umrah permits in Nusuk. For Umrah or a Rawdah visit, the official Nusuk app issues permits and manages bookings — keep data on for updates.

FAQ
Depends on your chosen plan: 500MB/day → 512 Kbps; 1GB/day → 512 Kbps; 2GB/day → 512 Kbps; 3GB/day → 1 Mbps; 10GB/day → 384 Kbps. After that, you stay connected until your daily high-speed allowance resets.
eSIM plans for Saudi Arabia connect via STC. Your device automatically selects the strongest local network; 5G is available where supported by the carrier, otherwise 4G/LTE applies. The specific carrier for each plan is listed on its detail page.
Daily plans provide a fixed amount of high-speed data refreshed each day (e.g., 1 GB/day). Once the daily high-speed limit is reached, speeds are reduced but connectivity remains — the full high-speed allowance resets the next day. Fixed-data plans end completely once exhausted; additional data must be purchased.
Essentially similar to "unlimited" plans on the market: you always stay connected, but speeds are reduced after exceeding your daily high-speed data allowance. We clearly state the reduced speed for each plan so you can choose the right one—no vague marketing.
Select the exact number of days for your trip — from 1 to 30 days. Pricing is per day: travel for 5 days, pay for 5 days — no need to overbuy a 30-day package.
1 GB/day is enough for maps, messaging, and social media. 2–3 GB/day if you frequently watch videos or make video calls. 5–10 GB/day for livestreaming or sharing a hotspot with your group.
For most plans, validity starts from the first time your eSIM connects to a network at your destination—you can safely install it at home before flying. Exact details for each plan are clearly stated on its product page.
