Many Umrah trips start or end in Medina. Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED) is about 20km from the Prophet's Mosque. Switch on your eSIM after landing and you can message your group and book a ride straight away.
STC has strong 5G around Masjid an-Nabawi and the hotels nearby. Medina is usually calmer than Mecca outside Hajj season, so video calls home often work well between prayers.
Visiting the Rawdah needs a separate permit booked in the Nusuk app. Slots fill quickly and new ones can appear at short notice. Having data on your phone means you can check and book from anywhere.
Popular visits include Quba Mosque, Masjid al-Qiblatayn, Mount Uhud and Al-Baqi. All have good STC coverage. Uber and Careem both work in Medina for getting between them.
The Haramain High Speed Railway connects Medina with Mecca and Jeddah. Your Saudi Arabia eSIM keeps working the whole way.
