STC5G

Mobile networks in Saudi Arabia

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).

Travel tips for Saudi Arabia

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.

Frequently asked questions about Saudi Arabia eSIM

Does the eSIM work in AlUla, Hegra, and desert tourist areas?
Yes. STC and Mobily have deployed 4G in AlUla, Hegra (Madain Saleh), and the new Red Sea resorts. In deep desert (Rub' al Khali, the Empty Quarter) coverage drops — guided tours carry satphones. In the Hegra archaeological zone 4G is stable.
Can I use WhatsApp and FaceTime in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. VoIP restrictions were lifted in 2017 — WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype, Google Meet, and Instagram video calls work normally. The esta eSIM applies no additional filtering.
Does the eSIM work for Hajj and Umrah?
For non-Muslims, entry to Mecca and Medina is forbidden; these questions assume Muslim visitors on a pilgrimage visa. The eSIM works in Mecca and Medina with reinforced STC coverage during Hajj season. The millions of pilgrims can briefly saturate networks.
