Hajj 2027
An eSIM for Hajj, ready before you leave home
An eSIM for Hajj is one less thing to arrange on arrival: Hajj 2027 is expected in mid May, with the Day of Arafah around 15 May. Arrive with Nusuk, your maps and your group already connected, and keep your usual number for family.

On STC 5G
The network our Saudi eSIM uses reported over 430 fixed towers and 259 5G sites dedicated to Hajj 2025.
One plan per pilgrim
A small plan each keeps the group reachable when you get separated in Mina, which a shared hotspot cannot do.
Day passes for video calls
If you call home by video every day, a day pass is steadier than a fixed amount you might empty before Arafah.

Good to know
- When is Hajj 2027?
- Expected from around 14 to 19 May 2027, with the Day of Arafah around 15 May. The dates depend on the sighting of the moon.
- Is there internet in Mina and Arafat?
- Yes. Saudi operators add towers, 5G and Wi-Fi at the holy sites every year. At peak moments it gets slow, so keep what matters offline.
- Do I need the Nusuk app for Hajj?
- Yes. The Nusuk card is mandatory from arrival to departure, and its digital version lives in the app.
