Best eSIM for Qatar in 2023 (Cheaper Travel Data)

Maya Mobile

Maya Mobile is a reliable eSIM provider with data plans for most worldwide countries. It’s very easy to purchase and set up an eSIM for Qatar from Maya Mobile, and you can complete the entire process in just a couple of minutes and be ready to connect to the internet the moment you land in Qatar.

Maya Mobile’s eSIM data plans for Qatar are:

• 1 GB/30 Days for $6
  3 GB/30 Days for $14

There aren’t too many options, which is a shame considering this provider usually includes an unlimited data option. The good news is that Maya Mobile eSIMs can connect to the Vodafone network, which is the provider that offers the widest coverage in the country by far.

Additionally, Maya Mobile allows data sharing with their eSIMs, so you can easily set up a hotspot to allow others to use your internet access.

Holafly

Holafly is a trusted international eSIM provider with options for most countries in the world. They’re usually known for unlimited data plans, but they’re still unable to offer unlimited data everywhere in the world. So, Holafly can’t sell you unlimited data eSIM for Qatar but they can sell you these plans:

• 3 GB/7 Days for $34
• 6 GB/15 Days for $44
• 8 GB/30 Days for $47

Holafly’s eSIM plans are significantly more expensive than plans from other providers, so they’re not one of my top three recommendations. Unless you’re specifically looking for eSIMs that can connect to the Oredoo network, you’re better off with one of the other providers. But if you want to have the fastest internet available in Qatar, then this is the eSIM for you.

Holafly allows you to set up a hotspot with its Qatar eSIM so you can easily share data with fellow travelers.

Airalo

Airalo is a very popular global eSIM provider, and usually one of the top three options regardless of where you’re traveling. Qatar is no exception and Airalo’s eSIM plans for this country start at just $5:

• 1 GB/7 Days for $5
• 2 GB/15 Days for $9
• 3 GB/30 Days for $12
• 5 GB/30 Days for $17.5
• 10 GB/30 Days for $30
• 20 GB/30 Days for $49

Airalo’s Qatar data plans are excellent value for money, and I like that they have options with different durations. Whether you’re staying in Qatar for a couple of days and you just want a little bit of data for emergencies or you’re in the country for a while and need a generous data allowance, this provider has an option for you.

The eSIMs from Airalo will connect to the Vodafone network, so you can expect excellent coverage everywhere in the country.

Nomad

Nomad is a popular provider that usually offers many different eSIM plans. Qatar is not an exception, and I believe that Nomad is the best provider for a Qatar eSIM if you want to have fast internet and coverage everywhere in the country.

That’s because Nomad offers data plans that can connect to both Vodafone and Oredoo networks, and those are the two top mobile providers in the country. Vodafone is known for good coverage and Oredoo for fast and reliable internet. Nomad’s data plans for Qatar are:

• 1 GB/7 Days for $10
• 1 GB/7 Days for $5 (Vodafone)
• 3 GB/30 Days for $17
• 3 GB/30 Days for $13 (Vodafone)
• 5 GB/30 Days for $23
• 5 GB/30 Days for $19 (Vodafone)
• 10 GB/30 Days for $37
• 12 GB/30 Days for $33 (Vodafone)
• 20 GB/30 Days for $55 (Vodafone)

The plans with access to two providers are more expensive, but they’re worth the money if you want to travel to multiple regions in Qatar. Nomad makes it super easy to purchase and set up an eSIM – after you buy a data plan, you’ve got 30 days to activate it. You can also add more data to your plan if you run out.

BNESIM

BNESIM is a great provider for global eSIMs because they offer three types of duration plans. You can choose from one-time plans, daily plans, and monthly plans, so it should be pretty easy to find something suitable for your trip duration.

One-time plans expire only after you’ve used up all the data, and are generally best for travelers who are staying in Qatar for a couple of days. Daily plans are active for 24 hours and monthly plans for 30 days. In terms of pricing, one-time plans are the most expensive, and monthly plans are the cheapest.

One-time plans:

• 1 GB for 3.55€
• 5 GB for 16.68€
• 20 GB for 62.51€

Daily plans:

• 1 GB for 2.49€
• 3 GB for 7.22€
• 5 GB for 11.68€

Monthly plans:

• 3 GB for 6.71€
• 10 GB for 20.78€
• 50 GB for 87.25€

I’ve listed just some of the available options for each type of plan and you can see a list of all available data plans on the BNESIM website. This provider lets you browse the internet on the Vodafone network in Qatar, so you can expect great coverage while you’re in the country.

Additionally, one thing I really like about BNESIM is that they let you choose the date of activation for the eSIM data plan. You can purchase it today and then schedule the activation years in advance if you want. Set up the activation day to be the first day of your trip, and all you’ll have to do to activate the eSIM in Qatar is turn on mobile data!

aloSIM

Alosim offers six eSIM data plans for Qatar:

• 1 GB/7 Days for $5
• 2 GB/15 Days for $9
• 3 GB/30 Days for $12
• 5 GB/30 Days for $17.5
• 10 GB/30 Days for $30
• 20 GB/30 Days for $49

Whichever data plan you choose you will get access to the Vodafone network in Qatar. The Alosim plans are good value for money – they’re priced identically as Airalo plans and even use the same mobile network operator, so it honestly doesn’t matter who you choose for your eSIM provider.

Alosim allows easy top-ups and you can always add more data to your plan if you run out.
