The best eSIM for Jordan in 2026. Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Jordan, priced on the same day: two weeks unlimited for $21.99, a month for $40.99, which to buy.
Prices read on 28 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs sell a Jordan plan and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six on the same day, for a long weekend in Amman and Petra, a week or two down the King's Highway to Wadi Rum and Aqaba, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited. Here is where each one wins.
Ringo Light: Cheapest unlimited for two weeks or a month. Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $21.99 or 30 days at $40.99, one payment each, nothing renews. Holafly, the only rival with a Jordan-only unlimited, asks $57.90 for 15 days and $107.50 for the month.
Holafly: Cheapest 3 days, and the only other Jordan unlimited. 3 days of unlimited at $12.50 on Zain, no daily cap stated for your own phone; sharing limited to 1 GB a day.
Nomad: Cheapest 20 GB and 50 GB buckets. 20 GB for 30 days at $37 and 50 GB at $57, on Zain. 10 GB at $27.
Saily: Cheapest small bucket. 3 GB for 30 days at $11.99, enough for maps and messages on a short trip with hotel Wi-Fi.

Most people give Jordan a week to two weeks: Amman and Jerash, the King's Highway south, two days in Petra, a night in Wadi Rum, then the Dead Sea or Aqaba. Unlimited is scarce here. Of the five rivals, only Holafly sells a Jordan-only unlimited: $57.90 for 15 days and $107.50 for 30. Airalo sells unlimited for Jordan only on its Middle East regional plan, $79 for 15 days and $99 for 30, and Ubigi only on its global plan, $77 and $108. Saily and Nomad sell no unlimited here. Ringo Light charges $21.99 for 2 weeks and $40.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews.
Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo's regional plan gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi's global plan gives 30 GB for 15 days or 60 GB for the month, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $21.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $43.98, still under Holafly's 15 days at $57.90; a heavy month costs $62.98, still under every rival's month of unlimited. If you know 50 GB will cover your month, Nomad sells exactly that for $57, which is less.
For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Holafly sells 3 days of unlimited at $12.50. For a week, our 2 weeks at $21.99 already costs less than Holafly's 7 days at $27.90.
Jordan has three networks: Zain, Orange and Umniah. Zain carries most travel eSIMs: Airalo, Holafly and Nomad all name it. Saily and Ubigi do not name theirs. Coverage is good in Amman, Jerash, Madaba, Petra and Aqaba, and along the main highways between them. In the open desert of Wadi Rum it thins out away from the village and the larger camps, and it fades in the narrow canyons. Download offline maps before you drive the Desert Highway or head into Wadi Rum.
Most visitors buy the Jordan Pass online before they fly. It waives the tourist visa fee if you stay at least three nights and covers entry to Petra, Jerash, Wadi Rum, the Amman Citadel and dozens of other sites. You show it as a PDF or a screenshot at the airport and at each gate, so keep it saved offline as well as in your email.
Nomad, $27 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB that lasts a month, the cheapest 20 GB at $37 and 50 GB at $57, on Zain. Its Middle East regional plan sells 10 GB for $25.
Saily, $29.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB at $48.99 and 3 GB at $11.99, the cheapest small bucket. Its listing is from June; saily.com would not load for us.
Airalo, $30 for 10 GB. Its Jordan plan on Zain, 20 GB at $49. Buckets from $4.50 for 1 GB for 3 days.
Ubigi, $34 for 10 GB. Its largest Jordan-only plan. 3 GB for 15 days at $16.
Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $21.99, less than any 10 GB here, but it lasts 2 weeks, not 30 days. Our 30 days starts with 20 GB for $40.99, and Nomad sells 20 GB for a month at $37. If a fixed amount is enough, Nomad is the better buy for 20 GB and Saily for 3 GB. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Jordan it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $21.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $40.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $21.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.
The card to buy it is just below this article.
A long weekend in Amman and Petra. Holafly unlimited, 3 days, $12.50. Ringo Light sells no 3 days.
Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea in one or two weeks. Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $21.99, less than any rival charges for a week or two of unlimited. Holafly 15 days at $57.90 if you want a Jordan-only rival plan.
A week, light use, budget first. Saily 3 GB for 30 days at $11.99, or Nomad 10 GB at $27 if you want it to last a month.
A month in Amman, working from cafés. Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $40.99, starting with 20 GB and adding 10 GB once for $21.99. Nomad 50 GB at $57 if you know that is enough and want one fixed price.
You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.
What to do in Jordan, and what your phone needs for it. Eight places most first trips include, from Amman and Jerash in the north to Petra, Wadi Rum and the Red Sea in the south, with the one thing your data does for you at each. The towns and highways have good 4G; the open desert does not always.
The Amman Citadel, Amman. The columns of the Roman Temple of Hercules stand on the highest hill in the old city, with the Roman Theatre and downtown below. Go late afternoon for the light over the hills. Uber and Careem both run in Amman, and a fare fixed in the app saves the haggle with taxis.
Jerash, North of Amman. One of the best kept Roman cities anywhere: the Oval Plaza, a long colonnaded street, temples and two theatres. About an hour's drive north of Amman; go in the morning before the heat. Book the ride back to Amman in the app before you leave the site; taxis at the gate set their own price.
Mount Nebo, Near Madaba. The hilltop where Moses is said to have seen the Promised Land, with Byzantine mosaics in the church and a view across the Jordan valley to the Dead Sea. Pair it with the mosaic map in Madaba, a short drive away. A route app keeps you on the right road between Madaba, Mount Nebo and the Dead Sea, where signs are few.
The Dead Sea, Jordan valley, west of Amman. The lowest point on land, where the salt water holds you up and you float without trying. Most people swim from a resort or a public beach on the northeast shore, about an hour from Amman. Leave the phone in a dry bag on the shore: salt water ruins ports and speakers.
The Treasury at Petra, Wadi Musa. The rock-cut Nabataean facade appears at the end of the Siq, a narrow canyon about a kilometre long. Go at opening time, before the tour groups, and give Petra two days if you can. Your Jordan Pass is the ticket at the gate. Keep it saved offline, since signal fades inside the Siq.
The Monastery, Ad Deir, Petra. A facade even bigger than the Treasury, at the top of about 800 rock-cut steps from the city centre. Climb in the afternoon, when the sun is on the stone and the path is in shade. Download Petra's trail map before you go: the paths fork and signal is patchy on the far trails.
Wadi Rum, Southern desert, near Aqaba. Red sand and sandstone mountains, the desert of Lawrence of Arabia. Take a jeep tour through the canyons and stay a night in a Bedouin camp under the stars. Camps confirm pick-up by WhatsApp, and signal is weak out in the desert, so settle the meeting point in Wadi Rum village.
Aqaba and the Red Sea, Aqaba. Jordan's only port and beach town, with coral reefs a short swim off the south coast. Most trips end here for snorkelling or a dive after the desert. Dive centres and boat trips confirm pick-up times by WhatsApp, so keep data on at the hotel.
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Jordan on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile, we could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

For two weeks or a month of unlimited data, Ringo Light: $21.99 for 2 weeks and $40.99 for 30 days on 28 September 2026, against $57.90 for 15 days and $107.50 for 30 days at Holafly. For 3 days, Holafly at $12.50. For 20 GB that lasts a month, Nomad at $37. For a small bucket, Saily: 3 GB at $11.99.
Airalo, Holafly and Nomad name Zain, the largest of Jordan's three networks. Saily and Ubigi do not name their network for Jordan. Zain covers Amman, Petra, Aqaba and the main highways; signal thins out deep in Wadi Rum.
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo's regional plan slows you after 3 GB a day, and Ubigi's global plan after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Saily and Nomad sell no Jordan unlimited. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.
Yes. Zain, Orange and Umniah sell tourist SIMs in the arrivals hall at Queen Alia International Airport, and you need your passport at the counter. A travel eSIM skips the queue: you install it at home and it connects when you land, so you can book your ride into Amman before you reach passport control.
