Coverage at the Prophet's Mosque

Al-Masjid an-Nabawi and the surrounding area enjoy strong coverage from STC, Mobily and Zain, with 5G across much of the city. Outside the peak Hajj and Ramadan periods, Madinah is generally less crowded than Makkah, which means your eSIM often delivers noticeably quicker data here — comfortable for video calls home and uploading photos.

There's no separate "Madinah eSIM": the same Saudi Arabia plan that serves Makkah works here, and across the journey between the two holy cities.

Will my eSIM work on the road between Madinah and Makkah?
Yes. The Haramain high-speed railway and the main highways are covered, so your eSIM keeps working as you travel between the two holy cities. Download offline maps anyway in case of brief gaps.
