Your Middle East eSIM, explained
The Roamly Middle East plan reaches about 13 countries on one eSIM, connecting to Etisalat by e& and du in the UAE, STC and Mobily in Saudi Arabia, Ooredoo in Qatar, and the Israeli trio of Cellcom, Partner and Pelephone. 5G is genuinely strong across the Gulf, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Riyadh are among the best-covered cities anywhere, though desert routes like the road to the Empty Quarter and Lebanon's mountain villages drop to 4G on Alfa and touch. For a Dubai-Doha-Muscat itinerary, one plan beats clearing customs SIM kiosks in each emirate and country.
The real gotcha is calling. Several Gulf states restrict VoIP, so WhatsApp, FaceTime and Skype voice and video calls are often blocked on local networks in the UAE and elsewhere. A roaming eSIM that routes data abroad can sidestep this, but don't assume native calling apps will work. Also note Israel and several Arab states have entry sensitivities; coverage is technical, not political. Roamly is 30% off every plan right now.

Middle East eSIM — FAQ
How much does an eSIM for Middle East cost?
Plans for Middle East start from $4.49, with larger and unlimited options available. Every plan already has a 30% discount applied.
Which networks will I connect to in Middle East?
Your eSIM connects to leading local carriers in Middle East, using 5G where it's available, so you get data just like a local SIM.
When should I install my Middle East eSIM?
Install it as soon as you buy. Most plans only start counting once you arrive in Middle East and connect to a local network, so installing early is safe.
Will my phone work with an eSIM in Middle East?
If your phone is eSIM-compatible (most models from 2019 onward) and carrier-unlocked, it will work in Middle East.
Can I make calls with the eSIM in Middle East?
Our travel eSIMs are data-only, but you can call and message over the internet using apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Telegram while connected in Middle East.
Can I make WhatsApp calls in the UAE on this plan?
Possibly. The UAE blocks most VoIP on local networks like Etisalat and du, but a roaming eSIM whose data exits the country can bypass the restriction. Test it on arrival rather than relying on it for important calls.
Does one Middle East plan cover both the Gulf states and Israel?
If both regions are on the country list, yes, the eSIM connects to Ooredoo or STC in the Gulf and Cellcom or Partner in Israel. Coverage is purely technical and unrelated to any border-stamp concerns.
