Saudi Arabia has three operators: STC, Mobily and Zain. STC has the broadest coverage and the most 4G and 5G towers, with strong networks in Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca and Medina. In the vast desert areas and along empty highways the signal can drop out, although main-road coverage is relatively good for the region. 5G is widely rolled out in the cities. Networks: STC, Mobily, Zain.
In the cities the 5G is fast and 5 to 10 GB is enough for navigation and social media. For desert trips, additionally plan an offline map, because coverage drops out there.
On local Saudi networks, WhatsApp and FaceTime calls may be blocked, but with a travel eSIM that roams on a foreign network, calling apps often just work.
