“Very easy to use. I had used an eSIM before and had a lot of trouble with it, but this one was much simpler. I'm also very happy with the price — if it stays this way, I'll definitely use it on every trip abroad.”

Saudi Arabia eSIM Plans
Don't let your phone leave you stranded during Hajj and Umrah
In the holy cities, internet isn't a luxury — it's how you find your group, call your family, and open Nusuk. tukango eSIM is built for exactly this: set it up before you fly, connect the moment you land.
Strong coverage in Makkah and Madinah
Around the Haram, the Prophet's Mosque and beyond, you connect to Saudi Arabia's largest mobile network, with extra capacity in the holy sites during Hajj and Umrah seasons. 4G everywhere, 5G in Makkah and Madinah on phones that support it.
With you in Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah
The tent cities and holy sites are within coverage. Share your live location and stay with your group in a crowd of millions.
Set up before you fly, connect when you land
Your QR code arrives by email the moment you buy. Install it at home in 2 minutes; when you land in Jeddah or Madinah, you're online automatically. No store queues, no registration hassle.
Let your family see your face
WhatsApp and FaceTime video calls work smoothly over data. Call home after tawaf and share the moment.
Your own number stays active
The eSIM works as a second line, so your home number stays open for calls and bank verification texts — no need to remove your physical SIM.
Top up in 2 minutes
If your data runs out, add more from your phone instantly. And an eSIM you never installed can be refunded anytime.

Your tukango eSIM in Saudi Arabia
Coverage across the kingdom
Your tukango eSIM runs on Saudi Arabia's largest mobile network. 4G reaches every city and the highways between them, and 5G is available in the major cities, including Makkah, Madinah, Jeddah and Riyadh, on phones that support it. On the Haramain high-speed rail between Makkah, Jeddah and Madinah you stay connected for most of the route; only open desert and remote mountain roads see weaker signal. Hotspot sharing is included on every plan, so a tablet or a family member's phone can ride your data.
Makkah, Madinah and the airports
Around the Grand Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque the network adds capacity during Hajj and Umrah seasons. Messaging, maps and Nusuk permits keep working in dense crowds; video calls can slow around peak prayer times, so save calls home for early morning or late evening. Most pilgrims land at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah or Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz Airport in Madinah, and Riyadh's King Khalid Airport is covered as well. Install the eSIM at home, switch on data roaming for the tukango line when you land, and you are online while you walk to passport control. No SIM counter, no queue, no passport registration.
Hajj and Umrah eSIM
For a 7 to 10 day Umrah, 5 GB covers maps, WhatsApp and photos; 10 GB adds a daily video call home. For Hajj, with two to three weeks across Makkah, Mina, Arafat and Madinah, choose 20 GB, or take the 50 GB plan and share it with your family over hotspot. Validity starts the first time you connect in Saudi Arabia, not on the day you buy, so you can set everything up weeks before departure. The eSIM works as a second line: your own number stays active for calls and bank verification codes. Dedicated support over WhatsApp and email is with you throughout the journey.
Prices and guarantee
Plans start from $4.05. Every plan is a one-time payment with no roaming fees and no hidden charges, and larger plans cost less per gigabyte. Fixed plans can be topped up from your tukango account whenever you need more. Buy early with confidence: an eSIM you never installed can be refunded at any time, and if you installed it but never connected, support reviews the request individually.
Your purchase is protected. Unused eSIMs can be refunded anytime.
