Your options
| Option | Good for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| UK roaming | Simple, same number | Can be expensive for weeks of use; check your network's Saudi rates |
| eSIM | Set up before you fly, data on landing | Your phone must support eSIM and be unlocked |
| Local Saudi SIM | Often good value for long stays | Needs registration with your passport on arrival |
Before you fly
- Install the Nusuk app and your operator's app if they have one
- Download offline maps of Makkah, Mina and Madinah
- Save your group leader's and hotel's numbers
- Pack a power bank: check your airline's rules on capacity
