Saudi Arabia: GCC and Umrah roaming, priced
For Saudi Arabia specifically: the du GCC bundle is AED 99 for 5GB valid 3 days and works across Gulf countries, while the e& Umrah packs are AED 100 for 7GB / 7 days (prepaid) or AED 150 for 15GB / 7 days (postpaid), both including 700 voice minutes. This eSIM is data-only with no minutes, but its 5GB plan lasts 30 days — so for data-only trips it costs less per gigabyte and lasts far longer; if you need to make calls, an Umrah pack is the better fit.
GCC and Umrah prices checked October 2026 from du.ae and etisalat.ae; operator prices change, so check the du and e& apps for current rates.
