This combined eSIM covers 12 countries in the Middle East and North Africa: Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. In each country it connects automatically to a local network, such as Turkcell in Turkey, Etisalat (e&) in the UAE, Mobily or Zain in Saudi Arabia and Orange in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco. It suits trips that combine several countries, like Petra in Jordan with the Red Sea in Egypt, Umrah with a stopover in Istanbul or Dubai, or a Gulf trip with a side trip to Egypt or Turkey. In cities and tourist areas you can expect 4G, and 5G where the local network offers it (4G only in Morocco). Algeria, Lebanon and Iraq are not included in this bundle. Networks: Etisalat, Mobily, Zain, Ooredoo, Turkcell, Orange, Partner, Omantel.
For a week across two or three countries, 1 to 3 GB covers maps, messaging and bookings, but note that the 1 GB plan is valid for 7 days and the larger plans for 30 days. If you stay longer or share lots of photos and videos, choose 5, 10 or 20 GB, or take a separate eSIM for the country where you spend the most time.
None of the 12 countries is in the EU or EEA, so EU roam-like-at-home does not apply anywhere on this route. Install the eSIM at home before you leave and it switches to a local network by itself at every landing or border crossing.

Yes. Our eSIM gives you instant mobile data in Middle East & North Africa on the local networks, with no roaming fees. Your phone needs to support eSIM and be carrier-unlocked.
It depends on your trip. For mostly maps and messaging, 1 to 3 GB is plenty. If you use navigation, social media and some streaming, plan for roughly 1 GB every two to three days.
Right after payment. You receive a QR code on screen and by email immediately. It is best to install it at home over Wi-Fi before you leave.
Yes. Your own SIM stays in your phone for calls and texts. The eSIM runs alongside it, purely for mobile data in Middle East & North Africa.
The cheapest eSIM for Middle East & North Africa at esimzu starts from €8,99, with a lowest-price guarantee. You pay in euros by Bancontact, card or crypto and receive the eSIM instantly by QR code, with no app or physical SIM card.
No. None of the countries in this bundle is part of the EU or EEA, so the roam-like-at-home rules of an EU plan do not apply. Unless your home plan has a separate option for these countries, your operator charges for data there separately, often with a daily pass or a per-MB rate. This eSIM gives you one fixed data bundle for the whole route.
Yes. Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar are all in the bundle, so the eSIM connects to a local network after you land, even if you are only changing planes. Your data simply counts down from the same allowance you use at your final destination.
Usually not. A single-country eSIM is a lot cheaper per GB, even if you visit two or three countries and buy a separate eSIM for each. If you only travel within the Gulf states, also look at the GCC eSIM for those six countries. You choose this combination for convenience: one installation and one data allowance for a route with many borders or short stopovers.
On the local networks in the UAE, voice and video calls via WhatsApp and FaceTime are officially blocked. With a travel eSIM that roams they often work, but that is not guaranteed. Regular messages and voice notes work normally.
