Quick answer
For a weekend in Bahrain or Kuwait, a 1-day or 3-day Burj plan is usually enough. Install it at home on Wi-Fi, keep data roaming off on your regular line, and turn the Burj line on when you arrive. Visiting both, or adding Qatar or the UAE? The Middle East plan covers all of them with one eSIM.
Pick the right number of days
Plans are sold by the day, so match the plan to your trip: a day trip needs a 1-day plan, and a weekend usually fits a 3-day plan. Each plan's validity is shown before you buy, and when it starts can differ between plans, so message us if you're not sure.

Before you leave
- Install the eSIM at home on Wi-Fi. If you're driving, do it before you set off, so it's ready as soon as you cross the border. See how to install a travel eSIM.
- Turn data roaming off on your regular line, so your home carrier doesn't charge you for roaming data.
- When you arrive, turn on the Burj line for mobile data and data roaming.
Your WhatsApp stays on your usual number while you use the Burj eSIM for data. See how to keep your number and WhatsApp.
