Middle East or Gulf eSIM: Which Countries Are Included?

AloOui / Middle East travel

Middle East, North Africa and Gulf labels describe different product choices.

Prepared by AloOui · Product listings checked 14 November 2026.

A collection is not one coverage package

The Gulf collection groups UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman country products. It is a place to compare those products, not evidence that buying any one of them covers all six countries. The Middle East collection likewise offers separate country and regional choices.

Start with the selected product’s own destination list. Political, geographic and collection labels are not substitutes for that list. A broader-sounding name can still exclude a stop that matters to your trip.

“Included” means the destination appears in that product’s coverage list. A dash means it is outside that product’s list; compare a suitable separate destination plan. Local reception and supported networks still depend on the selected package and location. The collection displays these products separately and does not combine their coverage into one purchase.

The Palestine product currently lists Jawwal at 2G only. Check the product details and your essential locations before choosing it for tasks that need a fast connection. Israel, Palestine and Jordan are separate destination entries; do not infer one from another.

This compares listed destinations, not guaranteed reception at every location or identical networks between packages.

All eight Middle East & Africa destinations

Middle East & Africa eSIM includes Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Turkey and UAE. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Tunisia are excluded. Egypt and Morocco are its only African destinations; the Africa name does not mean continent-wide coverage.

It offers fixed-data and daily Unlimited choices up to 30 days, with the available duration depending on the selected option. Its fixed maximum is 50GB/30 days. More data does not add an excluded country.

All ten Middle East & North Africa destinations

Middle East & North Africa eSIM includes Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and UAE. Oman and Turkey are excluded.

It offers fixed data up to 100GB/30 days and daily Unlimited choices up to 30 days. No Premium option is listed on this product. Selecting Plus does not convert it into Premium or add Oman coverage. For UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar in one itinerary, compare this product rather than assuming the Gulf collection is one all-country plan.

The seven-destination Long Trip list

Middle East Long Trip includes Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Morocco, Oman, Turkey and UAE. Its packages are fixed 20GB/60 days or 50GB/90 days. These are whole-trip pools, not daily allowances.

Kuwait is excluded even though it appears in both shorter regional lists. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain are excluded too. Choose long validity only after rechecking every destination. A longer expiry provides more time to use the purchased data, not additional countries or unlimited traffic.

Four destination guides for practical planning

Use the UAE guide for Dubai stopovers and Abu Dhabi travel. The Saudi Arabia guide explains country-option networks and travel preparation. The Turkey guide covers Istanbul, Cappadocia and routes into Europe. The Egypt guide covers Cairo, Nile itineraries and Red Sea stays.

Each country product is separate. A UAE purchase does not gain Oman coverage, and a Turkey product does not extend into Greece because you select a larger allowance.

What coverage does and does not tell you

A listed country establishes the intended destination service area, subject to supported partner reception. It does not guarantee every hotel, desert route, mountain road or indoor location. Network generation and access depend on the purchased option, device, supported partner and local conditions; a brand name alone is not universal 5G entitlement.

All regional products discussed here are data only. Hotspot terms and app availability need their own checks. Confirm exact coverage before purchase, follow supplied activation instructions and save essential addresses and tickets offline. On a covered regional journey, borders do not reset validity or replenish fixed data.

Bahrain needs a specific check: Global Max lists it, while Global, Global Light and Global Standard do not. Oman is included by Middle East & Africa and Middle East Long Trip, but excluded from Middle East & North Africa.
