Saudi Arabia has three main carriers: STC (Saudi Telecom Company, dominant with 5G in all major cities), Mobily (broad 5G in the western region — Mecca, Medina, Jeddah), and Zain Saudi Arabia. The eSIM Ahora connects to the strongest network. Outlets are mixed: Type G (British), Type A/B (American), and Type C (European) — use a universal adapter. Voltage varies: 127V (older buildings) or 230V (modern).
Riyadh (RUH) and Jeddah (JED) airports offer unlimited free WiFi. The currency is the Saudi riyal (SAR, pegged to USD at ~3.75 SAR/USD). Al Rajhi Bank, SAB, and Riyad Bank ATMs accept foreign cards. WhatsApp and VoIP video calls have been allowed since 2017 — they work without restrictions. Important: visits to Mecca and Medina are restricted to Muslims; AlUla is an open tourist zone with full 4G. The electronic tourist visa (eVisa) has been available since 2019 for 60+ nationalities.
