Mobily GCC Roaming Packages in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman: Prices, Codes and How to Activate
Travelling to Dubai, Doha, Kuwait City, Muscat or Manama? Mobily has a separate set of roaming bundles just for the Gulf countries. Unlike the worldwide Trip bundles, the GCC bundles give you unlimited data and unlimited calls for a fixed price, so you do not have to count gigabytes while you are away.
These bundles work in all five GCC countries outside Saudi Arabia: the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. They are available for both prepaid and postpaid Mobily customers, and the price you see already includes VAT.

How to Activate a Mobily GCC Roaming Bundle
First, make sure the roaming service is active on your line. Without it, you cannot subscribe to a GCC bundle. If you are not sure, check in the Mobily app or call 1100 before you travel.
Then subscribe in any of these ways:
- By SMS: send the bundle code (6112, 6113, 6117 or 6110) to 1100. You will get a confirmation SMS.
- In the Mobily app: open the app, go to roaming or packages, and pick the GCC bundle for your trip length.
- By phone: call customer care on 1100 and ask for the GCC roaming bundle.
- In a branch: visit any Mobily branch and ask staff to add the bundle.
A useful tip: subscribing before you leave Saudi Arabia is the simplest option. If you send the SMS while you are already roaming, Mobily charges roaming SMS rates for that message, so the app or a subscription made before departure avoids the extra charge.
Countries and Networks Covered
Your phone will connect to one of these partner networks when you arrive. You do not need to do anything — your phone picks up the local network automatically once roaming is on.
| Country | Partner networks |
|---|---|
| UAE | e& |
| Qatar | Vodafone, Ooredoo |
| Kuwait | Ooredoo (Wataniya), STC, Zain Kuwait |
| Bahrain | STC Bahrain, Batelco, Zain |
| Oman | Omantel (Oman Mobile), Ooredoo (Nawras) |
The list of supported countries and operators can change, so if your phone does not connect, try picking a network manually in your phone settings, or call Mobily on +966 56 010 1100 — the call is free.
What Is Included — and What Is Not
The bundles include unlimited data and unlimited incoming calls, plus unlimited outgoing calls to numbers inside the country you are visiting and to Saudi Arabia. That covers calls back home and local calls in the country you are in.
Two things are not included:
- SMS messages are not part of the bundle and are charged separately.
- International calls to any other country (anywhere other than Saudi Arabia or the country you are visiting) are charged at pay-as-you-go roaming rates.
Do GCC Roaming Bundles Auto-Renew?
No. There is no auto-renewal on these bundles. When the validity ends, Mobily sends you an SMS to let you know, and the bundle simply stops. If you are staying longer, just subscribe again with the code for the bundle you want.
GCC Bundles vs Worldwide Trip Bundles
Mobily also sells Trip roaming bundles for travel outside the Gulf. Those come with a fixed data amount (for example 1 GB or 3 GB) and work in many countries around the world. The GCC bundles are different: they only work in the five Gulf countries, but in return you get unlimited data and unlimited calls. If your whole trip is inside the Gulf, the GCC bundle is the simpler and usually better-value choice. See our full guide to Mobily roaming packages for travel abroad for the worldwide Trip bundles.
Before You Travel: A Quick Checklist
- Make sure roaming is active on your line (check the Mobily app or call 1100).
- Pick the bundle that matches your trip length and subscribe before you leave, or use the app once you land.
- Keep enough balance (prepaid) or check your account (postpaid) to cover the bundle price.
- Turn on data roaming in your phone settings when you arrive — see our guide on how to activate 5G on Mobily if you want the fastest speeds while you are away.
- To check your balance while travelling, see how to check your Mobily balance and data.
