Arbaeen
Your Arbaeen eSIM, up and running before Najaf
Millions of pilgrims walk the road from Najaf to Karbala, and tracking down and registering a SIM along the way is no plan at all. Set up the eSIM before the walk, and your data works the moment you arrive.

One plan for all of Iraq
Najaf, Karbala and the road in between are all on an Iraq plan. On the busiest days the speed changes, the coverage does not.
A small plan for each person
It holds up better than one phone running a hotspot for the whole group, and saves battery.

Out of data? As soon as you find a signal, add more to the same eSIM.
Three small steps, then you are off
- 1
Choose a destination
Look up a country or a region. Prices appear in your own currency.
- 2
Install it at home
Scan the QR code before you leave. Nothing to swap, no SIM tray.
- 3
Switch on when you land
Turn the eSIM on after landing and you are online. Your usual number stays in the phone for calls and messages.
Good to know
- Does one eSIM last the whole walk?
- It does. An Iraq plan covers the entire country, the Najaf to Karbala road included. Only the speed changes on peak days.
- Can I share my data with the group?
- Your phone can work as a hotspot, but on peak days it is slow and empties the battery fast. A small plan for each person holds up better.
- What happens if my data runs out?
- Top up the same eSIM on your eSIM page, with nothing new to install. You just need to get online for a moment.
