Best eSIM for Saudi Arabia: 6 Providers Compared (Real Prices)

Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, AlUla — Saudi Arabia's tourism and business travel has grown fast, and so has the range of eSIM pricing on offer. I pulled the current live numbers from six well-known providers we track for Saudi Arabia and ran the actual math, the same way I do for every destination before recommending one.

The quick answer

• Cheapest unlimited data, any length of trip — and it's not close: Maya Mobile. Its flat global rate is $49.99 for 30 days of unlimited data, well under half of Airalo's $97.00, Saily's $59.99, or eSIMCard's $67.24 for the same length of trip.
• Cheapest possible entry point: Saily's 1GB/7-day plan at $4.49, just ahead of Airalo's 1GB/3-day plan at $4.50.
• Best fixed-data value for a full month: Nomad eSIM's 20GB/30-day plan at $31.00 — noticeably cheaper than Airalo's equivalent tier at $42.00.
• Watch out for: Nomad eSIM's unlimited options stop at 10 days ($33.00); there's no 15-day or 30-day unlimited from Nomad eSIM here.

If you're completely new to eSIMs, our beginner's guide to how eSIMs work is worth five minutes before you buy — it covers what an eSIM actually is and why it beats hunting for a physical SIM card on arrival.

What you'll actually pay: six providers compared

Airalo

Airalo covers Saudi Arabia broadly, from 1GB/3 days at $4.50 up to a 25GB/45-day tier at $49.00, plus unlimited from 3 days ($12.50) to 30 days ($97.00). That 30-day unlimited price is steep — well above Maya Mobile's flat rate for the same length of trip.

eSIMCard

eSIMCard's Saudi Arabia pricing is unlimited-only, priced by duration — from $4.21 for a single day up to $67.24 for 30 days. That's genuinely cheaper than Airalo or Saily at most durations, though still well above Maya Mobile's flat rate. Real discount code active:

Nomad eSIM

Nomad eSIM's fixed-data tiers are the strongest value for a full month if you don't need unlimited: 20GB/30 days at $31.00 and 50GB/30 days at $41.00 both undercut Airalo's equivalent tiers noticeably. Its unlimited lineup stops at 10 days ($33.00), though — there's no 15-day or 30-day unlimited option from Nomad eSIM for Saudi Arabia. Real discount code active:

Nomad eSIM -15% ESIMKART15

15% off, single-use per customer. Excludes plans under $5, sale plans, add-on data, unlimited plans, and the Thailand 50GB plan.

Saily

Saily has the cheapest entry point in this comparison — 1GB for 7 days at $4.49 — and covers unlimited from 5 days ($18.99) through 30 days ($59.99), though it skips a 7-day tier entirely, jumping from 5 to 10 days. Real discount code active:

Saily -10% ESIMKART

Ubigi

Ubigi's Saudi Arabia lineup includes both fixed-data tiers (from 1GB/7 days at $7.00 up to 20GB/30 days at $44.00) and real unlimited options too — 7 days at $49.00 and 15 days at $77.00. It's a reasonable option whether you want predictable light data use or an all-you-can-use plan for a shorter stay. Real discount code active:

Ubigi -10% ESIMKART10 First payment only

Maya Mobile

Maya's flat rate — $9.99 for 3 days, $19.99 for 7 days, $27.99 for 14 days, $49.99 for 30 days — is dramatically cheaper than every Saudi Arabia-specific unlimited competitor at every duration, and the gap widens the longer the trip. Real discount code active:

Why the prices are all over the place

Saudi Arabia's local data costs run noticeably higher than many destinations we track, and that shows up directly in the destination-specific providers' pricing — Airalo, eSIMCard, and Saily all charge close to double what they'd charge for a comparably cheap market. Maya Mobile doesn't price by destination at all; it charges the same flat global rate everywhere it operates, which is exactly why it ends up so far ahead here. Nomad eSIM and Ubigi both mix fixed-data and unlimited, which is why their coverage of trip lengths is uneven compared to Saily's full unlimited ladder.

If you're not sure how much data you'll actually need, our data usage guide is worth reading before defaulting to unlimited — Nomad eSIM's fixed tiers in particular make a modest-data trip meaningfully cheaper than any unlimited plan.

How to pick based on your trip

A few days in one city: Saily's 1GB/7-day plan at $4.49 or Airalo's 1GB/3-day plan at $4.50 cover the basics without overpaying.

A week to ten days: Maya Mobile at $19.99 (7 days) is normally the cheapest unlimited option here by a wide margin.

A full month, fixed data is enough: Nomad eSIM's 20GB/30-day plan at $31.00 is normally the strongest value in this comparison.

A full month, you want unlimited: Maya Mobile at $49.99 — a fraction of every other unlimited option here.

Traveling for Hajj or Umrah, or another trip where you want simple, predictable pricing: Maya's flat rate means you know the exact cost upfront regardless of exactly how many days you end up needing.

A few things worth knowing before you buy

Coverage is strong across the major cities — Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina — and along the main highway routes between them. As with most destinations, more remote desert areas can have weaker signal.

Install the eSIM before you fly. Every provider here activates once you land, so there's no need to find airport wifi to scan a QR code on arrival.

Double-check your phone is eSIM-compatible and carrier-unlocked before buying — our compatibility guide covers exactly how to check in under a minute.
