Why use an eSIM for Umrah
No need to queue for a local SIM at the airport or swap SIM cards. Your Malaysian number stays in the phone for calls and WhatsApp verification codes, while the eSIM gives you mobile data in Saudi Arabia.
OTOSUBS eSIM
Umrah eSIM for Saudi Arabia
Stay connected with family, maps and your mutawwif group chats during Umrah. OTOSUBS sells 15 Saudi Arabia data eSIM plans from RM 11.90. Buy before you fly, install on Wi-Fi at home and switch it on when you land in Jeddah or Madinah.
Choosing a plan
Pick a plan by how many days you stay and how much data you use. Video calls with family and navigation use the most data. If your group also visits another country, a regional Middle East plan can cover more than one country.
Group bookings for travel agents
Umrah travel agencies can buy eSIMs for the whole group with one invoice and a QR code for every pilgrim through Group Booking, or join as an OTOSUBS agent.
FAQ
Does the eSIM work in Makkah and Madinah?

When should I install my Umrah eSIM?
Install it at home on Wi-Fi a few days before you fly. Switch on the eSIM line and data roaming when you land in Saudi Arabia.
