eSIM for the Middle East — 15 Countries, One eSIM
15 countries, and the cheapest of them is the one most routes enter through: Turkey at $1.02/GB, with the next country up costing ×2.1 that. The table runs to $27.55/GB, but that ×27 range is not how the region is priced: 13 of the 15 countries sit at or under $5.22/GB, and the whole spread is produced by the two most expensive rows.

Two countries make the whole range
Sorted by rate, the two most expensive rows are Afghanistan and Lebanon — $25.40 and $27.55/GB. Drop them and the region tops out at Iraq, $5.22/GB, and the spread falls from ×27 to ×5.1.
The largest single step between neighbouring rows is ×4.9, from Iraq to Afghanistan — and it is the second-to-last step in the table, not one hiding in the middle. Everything cheaper than it sits inside the narrow band where almost every Middle East itinerary lands.
The Gulf prices as one block
The six Gulf Cooperation Council states — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — price between $2.36/GB and $4.51/GB, a spread of ×1.9 across the whole peninsula. A multi-stop Gulf route therefore has no cheap leg and no expensive leg to plan around. The region median, $4.30/GB, sits inside that block.
6 of the 15 countries here price below the catalog-wide median of $3.69/GB, and the region uses 12 distinct rates for 15 countries — close to one rate per country, so the table above is worth reading row by row rather than as a single regional price.
What the $20 minimum buys here
The minimum top-up is $20, billed per megabyte out of one balance, so the same money converts differently in every country on the list. At the region floor of $1.02/GB in Turkey it is roughly 19.5 GB. At the region median, $4.30/GB, roughly 4.6 GB. In Lebanon, the most expensive entry here at $0.0269 per megabyte, the same $20 is roughly 743 MB.
Nothing expires between those numbers. What is left after one country is spent at the next country's rate, on the same eSIM, with no repurchase at the border — which is why the spread above rarely needs managing: one top-up is sized for the trip, not for each destination.
How this page relates to the country guides
One country in this region has a dedicated destination guide: Turkey — which is also the cheapest rate in the region at $1.02/GB.
The guide covers installation, device support and arrival for that one country. This page does the job it cannot: showing where every other country in the region sits relative to it.

FAQ
Does one Roamzy eSIM really cover all 15 countries in the Middle East?
Yes — one eSIM profile, one balance. Crossing a border switches you to that country's per-MB rate automatically; there is nothing to re-buy or re-install.
How is data billed across the Middle East?
Per megabyte, from a prepaid USDT/USDC balance. Each country has its own rate (from $1.02/GB in Turkey in this region); you pay the local rate only for the megabytes you use there, and the balance never expires between trips.
Which country in the Middle East costs the most, and how much data does the minimum top-up buy there?
Lebanon, at $27.55/GB ($0.0269 per megabyte). The $20 minimum top-up is roughly 743 MB there, against roughly 19.5 GB at the region's floor rate of $1.02/GB. Same eSIM, same balance — only the per-megabyte rate changes.
Do I need a new eSIM for a multi-country trip?
No. That is the point: install once, top up once, and the same eSIM works across all 193 covered countries — this region and beyond. See the install guides to set up before you fly.
