Data planning
Expect reliable 3G/4G in urban centers and limited coverage in remote desert areas. Plan for 1-3 GB/week for basic navigation and messaging; increase if you stream or work remotely. Top-ups are quick with Simology.
Insider tips
- — Public Wi-Fi can be rare or insecure in some areas — use your eSIM for safer, more reliable access.
- — Use your eSIM to plan long road journeys, book guided tours, and access offline maps for desert treks.
- — The best time to visit is during cooler months (October–March). Avoid the hottest summer months and be mindful of Ramadan timings which affect opening hours.
