136 of these 716 plans were checked against the seller's own shop on 17 October 2026. The rest come from the seller's own feed or plan pages and are not yet independently checked.
The Watchdog Pick is the lowest real price per GB of the 716 plans in this view. Bulk data pools above 50 GB cannot win it, because their per GB rate only exists if you use data no traveller uses. Providers cannot pay for it. Unlimited plans show their fair use allowance instead of a per GB rate, because there is no per GB rate to compare.
Price per GB counts only data you can use inside the validity, at most 3 GB a day, so a big pool on a short validity cannot buy the top spot. Every provider's best two plans come first, then the rest. A plan marked Unverified price undercuts every other provider here by more than half and waits at the end until we have checked it on the seller's site. How we rank
Unlimited rows show the daily amount at full speed. Some rows also show the speed after that amount. A row with no speed does not mean the plan stays fast, so check the plan on the seller's site.
Some links here earn us a commission. It never changes the order. How we make money The row marked Sponsored is a paid placement shown above the ranking, not part of it. Advertise here.
Short answer. The cheapest Middle East eSIM we track right now is Horizon eSIM, 20 GB for 30 Days at $21.27, which is $1.06 per GB, covering 4 countries on one eSIM. Checked 17 October 2026, 06:01 GMT.
Middle East plans are built around the Gulf. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are on nearly every plan, and the further you go from those two the thinner the coverage gets.
What the cheapest Middle East eSIM costs right now
As of 17 October 2026, 06:01 GMT, the best rate on a Middle East plan is Horizon eSIM at $1.06 per GB: 20 GB for 30 Days at $21.27, across 4 countries. The median across all 716 plans is $3.66, so half of what is sold in this region costs more than that.
- Smallest ticket price eSIM4Travel, 100 MB for 1 Day at $0.70. Useful for a short hop, rarely the best value per GB.
- Best rate on a large plan Horizon eSIM, 20 GB for 30 Days at $21.27, $1.06 per GB. Buying bigger is almost always cheaper per GB than topping up twice.
- Longest validity Roamix, 365 Days on one plan. Long itineraries lose money on short plans that have to be replaced.
- Features across these plans 270 can be topped up, 443 advertise 5G, 600 allow hotspot use, and 367 are sold as unlimited.
Which is the best eSIM for Middle East?
Best depends on the trip, so here are the winners on today's numbers rather than one name. Each line is the first row of a different sort on the 716 live plans above:
- Best value Horizon eSIM, 20 GB for 30 Days at $21.27: $1.06 per GB across 4 countries.
- Widest coverage MegaEsim, 21 countries on one eSIM, 3 GB for 3 Days at $8.99.
- Best for a long trip Roamix, 365 Days on one plan, Unlimited500 MB/day at $1,211.35.
- Highest daily cap on an unlimited plan Tourist eSIM, 1 Day at $21.13, full speed up to 10 GB a day. Set that daily cap against the fixed plans before you pay for the word unlimited.
A Middle East eSIM only earns its keep once you cross a border. If the whole trip stays in one country, the single country plan usually wins, and the next section prices both sides.
Is a Middle East eSIM worth it, or is one plan per country cheaper?
This is the comparison that decides the purchase, and nobody publishes it, so here it is from our own catalogue. We price both sides on the same basket: a plan of 5 to 50 GB lasting at least 15 days, which is what a real trip needs. Bulk data pools are excluded from both sides, because nobody buys 500 GB for a fortnight.
That regional figure is Horizon eSIM, 20 GB for 30 Days at $21.27, covering 4 countries. The country figure is the average of the cheapest comparable plan in each of the 16 countries we have prices for in this region.
The regional plan comes out ahead on average. It sits about 27% under the typical country's own best plan at the same size. The cheapest individual countries still beat it, so if your trip is really one country with a day trip attached, price that country on its own page first.
The averages hide a wide spread, and the spread is where the decision actually lives. The cheapest country in this region is Turkey at $0.35 per GB on its own plan, well under the regional rate. The dearest is Libya at $6.00. If your itinerary leans towards the expensive end, the regional plan is worth more than the averages suggest. If it leans cheap, buy per country.
How many countries does a Middle East eSIM actually cover?
There is no standard. Across the 716 plans on this page the country lists differ enormously, and the name on the plan tells you almost nothing. These are the widest plans each provider currently sells in this region.
| Provider | Widest plan | Plans here | Best per GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| MegaEsim | 21 countries | 18 | $3.00 |
| Saily | 19 countries | 5 | $2.12 |
| ASIMGO | 17 countries | 118 | $2.20 |
| eSIM4Travel | 15 countries | 28 | $1.50 |
| FlyEsim | 14 countries | 64 | $2.31 |
| MobiMatter | 13 countries | 12 | $1.25 |

Calling apps, and what a Middle East plan actually covers
Several countries in the region restrict voice and video calling over apps on local networks. Travellers regularly find WhatsApp calls blocked while messaging works normally. Behaviour on a roaming eSIM is not always the same as on a local SIM, so do not plan a trip around app calls without testing yours on arrival.
Coverage is lopsided. The Gulf states dominate these plans, while Egypt, Israel and Turkey drift in and out depending on the provider, and several countries in the region are not sold at all. The figures above are live, so you can see which way each one currently falls.
The region also carries the widest price spread we track. Two plans covering the same handful of countries can differ by several dollars a gigabyte, which is why the table is sorted by the real per GB rate rather than by headline price.
Are the unlimited Middle East plans really unlimited?
No, and they are not sold as a trick either. 367 of the 716 plans here are unlimited in the fair use sense: full speed up to a daily allowance, then slower until the clock resets. The published daily allowances on these plans currently run from 0.5 GB to 10 GB a day. Past the cap the speed drops, often to 1 Mbps or less, which is fine for messages and maps and painful for video.
That is why unlimited plans carry no price per GB in our table. There is no honest per gigabyte number to print, so we show the daily allowance instead and leave the value verdict blank rather than invent one. At $1.06 per GB from the cheapest fixed plan here, unlimited only pays off if you genuinely burn several gigabytes a day.
How to pick the right Middle East plan
Check the country list, not the plan nameOpen the plan and read which countries it covers. The table above shows the country count for every plan, and the shares further up show how often the tricky ones are actually included.
Compare against the single country pagesThe cheapest plan for your main stop may beat the regional plan outright. Here the regional plan is cheaper on average, so check both before you pay.
Size it for the trip, not the weekA week of business travel across the Gulf sits around 3 to 8 GB. Add more if you use maps constantly, because journeys between cities are long. Use the filters on this page to set a minimum size and length, then compare only what clears the bar.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Installing needs a working connection, which is the one thing you will not have when you land.
Every destination covered by a Middle East plan
These 14 destinations are covered by at least one of the plans on this page. No single plan covers them all, so treat this as the list of places worth checking rather than a promise. Several of these plans also reach countries outside the region, which is worth knowing if your trip crosses into one. Each name links to its own price comparison.

The questions people actually ask before buying a multi country plan
What is the cheapest Middle East eSIM right now?
Ranked by real price per GB, the cheapest is Horizon eSIM at $21.27 for 20 GB over 30 Days, which works out to $1.06 per GB across 4 countries. Prices move, and the table on this page is re-ranked every time our catalogue refreshes.
How many countries does a Middle East eSIM cover?
It varies by plan, which is the single most important thing to check. Across the 716 plans we track, the widest is MegaEsim at 21 countries on one eSIM. Others cover far fewer. Always open the plan and read its country list before you pay.
Which is the best Middle East eSIM?
Best depends on the trip, so we rank rather than pick one name. On today's prices the best value is Horizon eSIM at $1.06 per GB, while the widest coverage is MegaEsim with 21 countries on one eSIM. For heavy daily use there are 367 unlimited plans with daily fair use caps. Every pick is the first row of a sort on live prices, and no provider can pay for it.
Is a Middle East eSIM cheaper than buying one eSIM per country?
On a normal trip size, which we take as 5 to 50 GB over at least 15 days, the cheapest Middle East regional plan works out at $1.06 per GB (Horizon eSIM, 20 GB for 30 Days at $21.27). The average of the cheapest single country plan at that same size, across the 16 countries we price here, is $1.44 per GB. The regional plan comes out ahead on average, though the cheapest individual countries still beat it. The countries at the cheap end of the region still undercut it, so check your main stop before you decide.
Do Middle East eSIM plans offer unlimited data?
367 of the 716 plans here are sold as unlimited. In practice almost all of them are fair use: full speed up to a daily allowance, then slower for the rest of the day. The daily allowances on these plans currently run from 0.5 GB to 10 GB. That is why unlimited plans carry no price per GB in our table: there is no per GB rate to compare.
Do WhatsApp and FaceTime calls work in the Middle East?
Messaging normally works. Voice and video calls over apps are restricted on local networks in several countries in the region, and whether a roaming eSIM behaves the same way varies. Test it when you land and keep a backup way to reach people.
Is Israel on Middle East eSIM plans?
On some of them. It is one of the least consistent countries in the region for regional packs. The live figure on this page shows how many of the plans we track include it right now.
Does a Middle East plan cover Turkey?
Often not. Turkey sits between the Europe and Middle East packs and gets sold on both, on neither, or on its own. If Turkey is central to your trip, price a Turkey plan on its own page alongside the regional options.
Can I top up if I run out mid trip?
270 of the 716 plans here can be topped up, so you add data instead of buying a second eSIM. The rest need a fresh plan. Topping up is normally dearer per GB than sizing the plan correctly at the start.
How much data will I actually need?
A week of business travel across the Gulf sits around 3 to 8 GB. Add more if you use maps constantly, because journeys between cities are long. Use the filters on this page to set a minimum size and compare only the plans that clear it.
Will I keep my own number and still get bank codes?
Yes, as long as you leave your home SIM active. These are data only eSIMs and your phone can run both at once. Keep the home line on for SMS and one time codes, switch its roaming data off, and use the eSIM for everything else.
Do these plans include calls or a phone number?
No. The plans we compare are data only, so there is no local number to give out. Calls work normally over WhatsApp, FaceTime or any app that runs on data. If you need a real local number, a local SIM is the right tool.
Compare another region
Every region we track, ranked by the cheapest real price per GB, sits on the regional and global eSIM hub. If your trip stays in one country, the country by country comparison will nearly always be cheaper.
