About Qatar
There's no Qatar-only eSIM here. Two regional eSIMs cover Qatar, and both have a daily plan for just 1 day, which suits a short stopover in Doha:
- Middle East & Central Asia 18 eSIM: 18 countries including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey, on Ooredoo and Vodafone Qatar, both with 3G, 4G and 5G.
- Asia 28 eSIM: 28 countries across Asia, on Ooredoo 4G and 5G.
Both come as daily plans of 500 MB to 3 GB a day for 1 to 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 days, or as one data allowance for 7 to 30 days. Daily plans slow to 128 kbps once the day's data is used, and daily data renews 24 hours after the plan starts. Daily plans can be topped up, and every plan allows hotspot. Both start when they first connect in a country they cover, and you have 90 days from purchase to start them.
For a stopover before umrah, Middle East & Central Asia 18 covers Qatar and Saudi Arabia, on Mobily, on one eSIM. For a stopover on the way to Europe, use one of these for Doha and add a Europe eSIM for the rest of the trip.
Good to know
Which eSIM should I choose for Qatar?
Choose by the rest of your trip. Middle East & Central Asia 18 if you're going on to Saudi Arabia for umrah, or to Turkey or the United Arab Emirates. Asia 28 if you're going on to other parts of Asia.
Which networks will I use in Qatar?
Ooredoo and Vodafone Qatar, on 3G, 4G and 5G, on Middle East & Central Asia 18. Asia 28 uses Ooredoo, on 4G and 5G.
Which plan suits a stopover in Doha?
A daily plan for 1 day, which both eSIMs have, from 500 MB to 3 GB. 1 GB covers maps, messages and photos for the day. If you're flying on to Europe, add a Europe eSIM for that part: Europe 49, Essential Europe and Discover Europe don't cover Qatar, and each eSIM starts only when it first connects in a country it covers.
Can one eSIM cover Qatar and umrah?
Yes. The Middle East & Central Asia 18 eSIM covers Qatar, on Ooredoo and Vodafone Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, on Mobily, with 16 more countries. Asia 28 doesn't cover Saudi Arabia.
When does my plan start?
When it first connects to a network in a country the plan covers, so you can install it at home before you fly. You have 90 days from purchase to start it. Asia 28 also covers Malaysia, so if you install it at home in Malaysia, keep it turned off until you land, or it may start before you leave.
What happens when I use up my daily data?
Your speed drops to 128 kbps until the next day's data arrives, 24 hours after the plan started. That is enough for messages, but too slow for video.
Can I top up?
Daily plans can be topped up on the top-up page. Plans with one data allowance can't, so choose enough data when you buy.
