Nomad eSIM Data Plans for Saudi Arabia

Nomad does not offer a truly unlimited data eSIM for Saudi Arabia. The plans that contain “unlimited” in the name actually provide a capped high‑speed allowance of 2 GB per day and, after that limit is reached, the data throttles to a reduced speed of 1000 kbps. For travelers who need a larger fixed data allocation without such throttling, Nomad provides alternatives such as a 50 GB plan for 30 days priced at $41.00 or a 20 GB plan for 30 days priced at $31.00. These fixed‑data options may be more cost‑effective for most users unless an extremely heavy data user requires the 2 GB/day surface‑level unlimited experience.

Nomad does not offer an eSIM plan for Saudi Arabia that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. Travelers can only purchase a data‑only eSIM from Nomad for use in Saudi Arabia. To make phone calls or send messages, users can rely on VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage over the data connection. However, some destinations may block or restrict access to certain VoIP services, so it is advisable to confirm that the apps you need will work in Saudi Arabia before buying a plan.

Nomad offers 10 single‑country data plans that cover only Saudi Arabia and 14 multi‑country data plans that include Saudi Arabia along with other destinations. The plans vary in price from about $5.00 up to $170.00 and provide between 1 GB and 50 GB of data, with validity periods ranging from 3 to 365 days. Some plans use a fixed data amount, giving a set cap for the entire validity period, while others use a daily data cap that limits how much data can be used each day, allowing the total data to be spread out over an longer period.
