HelloRoam Saudi Arabia plans connect through these networks to give travellers consistent data across the country.
Riyadh has excellent 5G coverage across the entire capital, including King Abdulaziz Road, Olaya, Diplomatic Quarter, and the new AlQiddiya entertainment district. King Khalid International Airport (RUH) has strong 4G and 5G throughout terminals.
Jeddah has strong 5G in the city centre, Corniche, Al Balad (the UNESCO-listed Old Jeddah), and King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED). Pilgrims and travellers arriving at Jeddah for Umrah or Hajj connect immediately on arrival.
Mecca and Medina both have strong 4G coverage throughout the Haram areas. Network congestion during Hajj and peak Umrah seasons (Ramadan) can slow speeds significantly. The Masjid al-Haram in Mecca and Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina are both well covered.
AlUla, the new archaeological and cultural tourism destination in the northwest, has 4G coverage in the town centre and at main heritage sites. Remote desert and wadis have lighter coverage. Neom (the futuristic megaproject on the Red Sea) has coverage in active construction and operational zones.

eSIM Travel Tips for Saudi Arabia
Install Your eSIM Before Departure
Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport both have SIM card counters in arrivals. But buying a local SIM requires passport registration and can take 20 to 30 minutes. Activate your HelloRoam eSIM before departure to connect immediately on landing. Aussie travellers should confirm their phone is unlocked before using an overseas eSIM.
Prayer Times Affect Business Hours
Saudi Arabia observes five daily prayer times during which shops, restaurants, and attractions may close for 15 to 30 minutes. Plan your day around prayer times, especially Maghrib (sunset) prayer, which sees the longest closure. Apps like Muslim Pro show real-time prayer times with your HelloRoam eSIM active. Download Google Maps or Maps.me offline before leaving Australia.
Dress Conservatively Everywhere
Saudi Arabia has relaxed many dress codes in recent years, but modest dress is still expected in public. Women should cover their shoulders and knees in public areas. Swimwear is acceptable at hotel pools and some beach resorts. Religious sites including mosques require full modest covering for both men and women. Check Smartraveller for the latest travel advice for this destination.
Hajj and Umrah Pilgrims Face Network Congestion
Mecca and Medina see extreme network congestion during Hajj (annually) and Ramadan peak Umrah season. Millions of pilgrims simultaneously use mobile networks in a small geographic area. Download your maps, prayer guides, and accommodation details before entering the Haram areas. Signal will work but speeds will be significantly slower. Aussie travellers should confirm their phone is unlocked before using an overseas eSIM.
AlUla Requires Advance Booking
AlUla's archaeological sites including Hegra (Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site) require advance ticket booking. Use your HelloRoam eSIM to check AlUla Authority's website for tour availability before arrival. Sites sell out during peak season (November through March). Check Smartraveller for the latest travel advice for this destination.
Uber and Careem Operate in Saudi Arabia
Uber and Careem (Uber's Middle East subsidiary) are the main ride-hailing apps in Saudi Arabia. Both require internet to book. Taxis are available but use apps for reliable pricing. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps ride apps connected from the airport. Download Google Maps or Maps.me offline before leaving Australia.
Alcohol Is Prohibited in Saudi Arabia
Alcohol is completely prohibited in Saudi Arabia under law. This applies to all visitors regardless of nationality or religion. Non-alcoholic beverages and a wide variety of juices, sodas, and coffee are available everywhere. Check Smartraveller for the latest travel advice for this destination.
Emergency Number Is 911
Saudi Arabia's national emergency number is 911 for police, ambulance, and fire. Traffic accidents: call 993. This replaces older separate numbers. Save 911 in your phone. Emergency calls work from any network including eSIM. Check Smartraveller (smartraveller.gov.au) for the latest travel advice.
Saudi Arabia Mobile Networks Explained
Saudi Arabia launched commercial 5G in 2019, making it one of the earliest global adopters. STC (Saudi Telecom Company) was the first to deploy 5G and remains the country's largest carrier by subscribers and coverage. HelloRoam Saudi Arabia plans route through STC, Mobily, and Zain depending on location.
STC operates the most comprehensive 5G network in the Kingdom. It covers all major cities, highways, and tourist sites with 5G, and has deployed 5G in the new entertainment districts, NEOM project zones, and AlUla. STC's 5G uses both sub-6 GHz for wide coverage and millimeter-wave in dense urban areas. Average 5G speeds reach 400 to 800 Mbps in optimal conditions in Riyadh and Jeddah.
Mobily is the second-largest carrier and competes strongly in urban markets. Its 5G covers Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, Dammam, and Eastern Province cities. Mobily has a particularly strong presence in business districts and commercial zones.
Zain Saudi Arabia operates a nationwide 4G and 5G network. It is strong in urban cores and along the main highway network between Riyadh and Jeddah. Zain's 5G deployment is expanding steadily.
The Red Sea coast from Jeddah south to NEOM, the new Tabuk region, and the Haifa-AlUla cultural corridor are all getting improved coverage as Saudi Arabia's tourism infrastructure grows. The country's remote desert regions, including the Empty Quarter, have minimal or no coverage. Australian travellers should confirm their handset is unlocked and supports the local network bands.

Saudi Arabia eSIM vs Local SIM vs Carrier Billing
For Aussie travellers, a HelloRoam eSIM is generally the most cost-effective way to get data abroad compared to local SIM cards or Australian carrier roaming add-ons.
| Category | HelloRoam eSIM from A$5.66 Recommended | Saudi Arabia local SIM: SAR 40 to SAR 120 ($10 to $30) | Home carrier international billing: $10 to $25 per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From A$7.10 total | A$14.20–A$42.59 total | A$14.20–A$35.49/day |
| Details | Buy before you leave. Activate with a QR code at home. Land at Riyadh or Jeddah and connect to 5G immediately. No passport registration at an airport SIM counter. One plan covers Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Medina, AlUla, and the Red Sea coast. Plans from A$5.66 with no daily charges. | Local SIMs in Saudi Arabia require passport registration at a carrier store or airport counter. The process takes 15 to 30 minutes and requires a valid visa or residency document. Tourist SIMs are available at airports but queues can be long. HelloRoam eSIM bypasses all of this. | Daily roaming charges from most home carriers far exceed a HelloRoam eSIM plan cost for Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia's fast 5G network means heavy data use, and paying daily roaming rates adds up quickly on any trip longer than two days. |
Prices approximate as of . Actual savings vary.
Best Time to Visit Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has extreme summer heat, making the cooler months the best time to visit. November through March is the peak tourist season with temperatures between 15 and 30 degrees Celsius in Riyadh and Jeddah.
December and January are the most comfortable months. The Saudi Seasons entertainment events, including Riyadh Season and Jeddah Season, typically run from October through February with concerts, festivals, and outdoor events.
AlUla Winter at Tantora festival runs from December through March and is the best time to visit the archaeological sites. AlUla's ancient Hegra and Dadan sites are at their most photogenic in morning and evening light during these months.
April and May are shoulder months with rising temperatures but manageable heat in the mornings. June through September sees temperatures in Riyadh reaching 40 to 48 degrees Celsius regularly. Travel in summer is very uncomfortable unless you stay in air-conditioned spaces. Coastal cities like Jeddah are hot and humid in summer.
Ramadan (date varies annually based on the Islamic lunar calendar) is a special time in Saudi Arabia. The country comes alive at night with iftar celebrations, street food, and prayer. Non-Muslim visitors must respect fasting rules in public during daylight hours. Aussie travellers should keep Australian school holidays in mind when booking, as prices can spike.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
