eSIM for Hajj and Umrah: mobile data in Makkah and Madinah

    During Hajj and Umrah mobile data keeps you with your group, on schedule for prayers, and able to call home or share your location in a crowd. Install the eSIM before you travel and you are online the moment you land in Jeddah or Madinah.

    No physical SIM card, no airport queue for a local operator, and no roaming surprise on your bill afterwards.

    Why pilgrimage groups choose eSIM

    • The whole group can use the same plan at the same price.
    • No queueing for a local SIM after a long flight.
    • Keep your home number for calls and WhatsApp while data runs over the eSIM.
    • Track usage in the app and top up only if you need more.

    Data roaming must be enabled on the eSIM line, otherwise you stay offline.

    How much data do you need?

    For messaging, calls and maps, 1 GB is usually enough for 7–10 days. If you share videos from the Haram daily, plan for 3–5 GB, and for a 20–30 day stay choose a larger plan or top up along the way.
