Can I use it for a pilgrimage on to Makkah and Madinah?

Yes. This is one national Saudi Arabia plan, so the same Jeddah eSIM keeps working when you continue to Makkah for Umrah, ride the Haramain train to Madinah or head anywhere else in the Kingdom on a single allowance.

Will I have signal on a Red Sea diving trip out of Obhur?

Along the Obhur coast and at the resorts, coverage is solid for booking and check-in. Once your boat heads out over the open reefs, mobile signal fades as with any offshore trip, so download details before you sail.

Good to know in Jeddah

Al-Balad's tangle of narrow coral-house alleys can confuse GPS and hide you from a driver, so drop a pin and share your live location before you dive in, and agree a wider street as your Careem pickup point.

Two simple ways to buy

Jeddah eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Jeddah eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Jeddah — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Best value for lighter, shorter trips

Plan your data

How much data do you need in Jeddah?

A rough, honest guide to sizing your Jeddah eSIM so you're not guessing. Most travellers in Jeddah are comfortable on 3–5 GB a week — heavy streamers just go Unlimited.

Jeddah eSIM: your local data guide.

Wandering the UNESCO-listed lanes of Al-Balad, strolling the Corniche past the towering King Fahd Fountain and booking a Red Sea dive out at Obhur all run on your phone. A Jeddah eSIM keeps maps, Careem and restaurant bookings live from the second you land, whether you are hunting street food on Tahlia or catching sunset at the Floating Mosque.

One eSIM for Jeddah and all of Saudi Arabia. It's the national Saudi Arabia eSIM — from $5.42/day with unlimited data, working the same in Jeddah as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

On the ground

Where you'll lean on data in Jeddah.

Al-Balad (Historic Jeddah)

Follow offline-ready maps through the coral-stone alleys and souks, and translate signs at the old merchant houses.

Jeddah Corniche

Track your walk past the King Fahd Fountain and order a Careem back once the sea breeze fades.

Obhur (North Jeddah)

Book a Red Sea diving or snorkelling trip and check reef conditions before heading out to the resorts.

Tahlia Street

Reserve a table, compare reviews and hail a ride between the cafes, malls and shisha spots after dark.

The practical bit

Getting around Jeddah on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Jeddah

Careem— Jeddah's dominant ride-hailing app for the Corniche, Al-Balad and airport runs; live tracking needs data.
Uber— Widely available alternative for city trips and late-night rides between Tahlia and the coast.
Jeeny— A regional ride-hailing option that often has cars when Careem and Uber are busy.
Google Maps— Essential for threading the Corniche, the ring roads and Al-Balad's maze of old alleys.

How long to stay in Jeddah

Travellers usually give Jeddah two to three days, enough for Al-Balad, a Corniche evening and a Red Sea dive, often as a stop before Makkah.

How much data for Jeddah

For maps, Careem, dive bookings and social posts around Jeddah, 3-5 GB fits most short stays comfortably; pick Unlimited if you plan to stream, video-call home nightly or hotspot a laptop.

Coverage in Jeddah

Central Jeddah, the Corniche and the airport enjoy strong 4G and 5G on STC, Mobily and Zain; coverage only really weakens out on the water past Obhur and along quieter desert roads inland.

Peace of mind

Your Jeddah eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Jeddah eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Jeddah, no swapping your real SIM out.

Keep your number & WhatsApp

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

One thing worth knowing

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
