Traveling in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia draws business travelers to Riyadh, religious pilgrims to Mecca and Medina, and tourists exploring AlUla's ruins or Red Sea resorts. Trips range from short city visits to 2-week road trips across the desert. Data is crucial for navigation in sprawling cities, booking last-minute hotel rooms, and using ride apps like Uber or Careem where public transport is limited.

Coverage and signal

5G coverage is excellent in major cities like Jeddah and Dammam, and along highways between them. Signal weakens in the Empty Quarter desert and mountainous areas like Asir. Download maps before visiting remote sites like Madain Saleh. Local apps like Tawakkalna for health passes and HungerStation for food delivery are widely used.

Choosing the right plan

Short city trips suit the 3-day 1GB or 5-day 3GB plans. The 10GB unlimited option works well for heavy users or longer stays. Road trippers crossing multiple regions should consider the 30-day 20GB plan. Unlimited data is available for those needing constant connectivity without monitoring usage.
