Traveller's guide

Staying connected in Makkah

A weak connection does not just feel slow — it wastes your plan. Pages half-load and reload, uploads restart, apps retry in the background. Sitting on a solid network is part of what makes a fixed plan last the whole trip.

In Makkah the biggest single draw is video calls home from the Haram and finding your group in enormous crowds. Download the offline map before you fly and let the eSIM handle live traffic only.

During Hajj the network around the Haram carries millions of phones at once, and permits and group logistics run through the official app — a line that can select the strongest available network matters more here than almost anywhere.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Will the Makkah eSIM work on my phone?

Any eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked handset — iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Pixel 3 and newer. Dial *#06#; an EID number means yes.

How fast is the data in Makkah?

4G and 5G where the local network provides it. Speed varies by area and time of day, as it does for everyone on the same network.

Do I need a passport or registration?

No. That requirement applies to physical SIM cards bought locally, not to this eSIM.

When does my plan start?

On the first connection to a local network — when you switch off flight mode at JED. Not when you pay.

What happens when my data runs out?

Your connection simply pauses — no surprise bills, ever. To keep going, buy another package for the same destination. If that happens often, the unlimited plan is the cheaper answer.

Can I add data to an eSIM I already have?

No — we don't offer top-ups. If you need more data, buy another package for the same destination. It arrives by email and installs alongside the eSIM you already have.

Can I keep my normal number for calls and texts?

Yes. Keep the home line active for SMS codes with its data off, and let the eSIM carry the data.

Can I use it as a mobile hotspot in Makkah?

Yes. Bear in mind a second device draws from the same plan.

Does it work outside Makkah?

Yes — it is a Saudi Arabia-wide plan.

Staying longer than a week?

Unlimited is billed per day and the daily rate falls the longer you stay — same networks, no counting.
