Traveller notes

Airport pickup
Jeddah (JED) and Madinah (MED) both have 5G at the terminal. Install before you fly; airport Wi-Fi during Hajj season is slow.
Hotspot and calls
Hotspot allowed on most plans, useful for sharing with family. Check the plan row; a few pilgrim bundles block it.
Where the network is weak
Makkah Haram and Madinah are strong on STC and Mobily. Congestion at Mina and Arafat during Hajj slows every network; send messages, not video.
Local SIM alternative
STC or Mobily tourist SIMs need passport registration at the counter. For stays over 30 days a local SIM with a number is often cheaper than two eSIM top-ups.

Paying from India

Providers take Visa and Mastercard, including Indian debit cards enabled for international use. Expect a 2 to 3.5% forex markup from your bank. UPI, RuPay-only cards and Paytm are not accepted. Apple Pay and Google Pay work where your card does.
