Qatar – known for its airline, airport & highrise buildings.
To many travelers, Qatar is only known because of (Doha) Hamad International Airport, which is Qatar Airways' hub.
But the country plans on attracting more tourists who do not use the airport solely for transit but also stay a few nights (as a stopover, for example) by placing itself on the world map by hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
But should you actually visit Qatar? Yes, you should.
The Katara Cultural Village is just majestic, especially when the sun sets.
If you are into museums, visit the Museum or Islamic Art of the National Museum of Qatar.
Shopping in Villaggio Mall can be fun if you have money to burn.
And if you have the opportunity, visit Al Aaliya Island.
So even if you are just visiting Qatar because of the World Cup, there is no reason to be bored on the days your country is not playing 😏.
What I do not recommend doing is using your home SIM card in Qatar, also known as international roaming.
International roaming can be expensive, which is why I recommend local SIM cards, eSIMs, or travel eSIMs, which also applies to the country's mobile data rates.
Luckily for you, SIM cards are not too expensive in Qatar, and this also applies to mobile data rates in the country.
So, how much do SIM cards cost in Qatar?
You can get a Qatari SIM card for “free” from Ooredoo or 10 QAR (2.75 USD) from Vodafone in their stores. You need to top up at least 10 QAR with Ooredoo. It also has tourist SIM cards for 35 QAR (9.60 USD) and 150 QAR (41.20 USD). SIM cards are also sold at (Doha) Hamad International Airport (DOH).
These numbers are not bad at all! Especially if you know that costs were waaay higher a few years ago (they are borderline criminal).
In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Qatar. Let's go.

What is the Best SIM Card in Qatar?
If you want to buy the best SIM card in Qatar, I recommend going with Ooredoo. It has the best coverage and the fastest speeds. Vodafone is not bad at all. It is just that Ooredoo is (significantly) better.
So, which other SIM cards are available in Qatar?
Qatar has two mobile operators offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:
- Ooredoo Qatar
- Vodafone Qatar

Anyone 18 or older living in or visiting Qatar can buy a Qatari SIM card with no restrictions.
But you do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations, which include showing your passport at the point of sale.

Where Can You Buy a Qatari SIM Card (+Costs)?
You can get a Qatar SIM card in Ooredoo and Vodafone stores. Some Qatari airports sell (tourist) SIM cards (at inflated prices).
You can expect to pay for the following Qatari SIM cards:
- Ooredoo Qatar: “free”, but a plan purchase or minimum top-up of 10 QAR required
- Vodafone Qatar: 10 QAR
The following Qatari mobile operators also have SIM cards targeting tourists:
- Ooredoo Qatar: 35 QAR (Fan SIM – formerly Visitor SIM) & 150 QAR (Super Fan SIM)
- Vodafone Qatar: 35 QAR (it has no real tourist SIM card (anymore) – this is the price for SIM cards at the airport)
If you plan to buy a SIM card at an airport, the prices can be higher than those listed above – be aware of this.
Use the Wise Currency Converter tool (free) for up-to-date QAR (Qatari Riyal) to your currency (let's say INR – Indian Rupee) exchange rates.
For your convenience, below are some exchange rates between QAR and USD (US Dollars):
- 1 QAR = 0.25 USD
- 10 QAR = 2.75 USD
- 100 QAR = 27.45 USD
- 1000 QAR = 274.65 USD
But for any other currency, the Wise Currency Converter tool.
(Travel) eSIMs for Qatar
(Travel) eSIMs have become extremely popular in recent years.
Especially after Apple made iPhones (14- & 15 series) sold in the United States eSIM-only, forcing its users to use eSIMs – even when abroad.
This forced mobile operators to adopt eSIM technology faster than they had planned (for the benefit of anyone wishing to use eSIMs instead of swapping SIM cards).
At the moment, Ooredoo and Vodafone offer eSIMs to prepaid customers.
But if the Qatari mobile operators did have eSIMs and you wanted to purchase an eSIM, you would need to comply with Qatar's SIM card registration regulations.
Suppose you do not wish to do so for whatever reason. In that case, you may consider getting a travel eSIM for Qatar.
My Qatar eSIM buying guide analyzes various eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide (even in Qatar).

You can even get eSIMs covering Qatar and other countries in the Middle East, allowing you to use one eSIM in multiple destinations with just one purchase.
Or you can even get a global eSIM, which can be used in at least 100 countries worldwide.
While the Qatar eSIM buying guide goes much more in-depth about your options, I do want to introduce some quickly here:
- Airalo: Pearl Mobile (Qatar only), Menalink (15 countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS)
- Alosim: Qatar
- Holafly: Qatar
- Nomad: Qatar, Middle East (seven countries) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant)
Here are some discount codes to sweeten the deal:
- Airalo: DEC15 for 15% off (if you have never bought an Airalo eSIM before). Otherwise, DEC10 for 10% off (for existing users) – only the first 3000 users can redeem either discount code)
- Alosim: PTW for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
- Holafly: PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
- Nomad: ADU123 for 3 USD off (on your first-ever Nomad order only)
For information about these eSIMs, such as how much the eSIMs cost and how much data you get, check out the Qatar eSIM buying guide.

It is also the mobile operator with the best network performance.

Ooredoo has the best coverage in Qatar.
This was also confirmed by Opensignal.

SIM Card Price – Ooredoo Qatar
You can get an Ooredoo SIM card, called Hala, for free, although a plan purchase or minimum top-up of 10 QAR, in Ooredoo stores. Ooredoo SIM cards are also sold at (Doha) Hamad International Airport.
Short-term visitors and tourists can also get the Ooredoo Fan SIM card – Ooredoo's tourist offering.

This SIM card used to be known as the Ooredoo Visitor SIM, but it has been rebranded and improved for the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The following two Ooredoo Fan SIM cards:
Price | SIM Card | Credit | Data | Local Minutes | International Minutes 2 | Validity |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
35 QAR | Fan SIM | N/A | 2 GB | 25 minutes | 15 minutes | 7 days 3 |
150 QAR | Super Fan SIM | 30 QAR | 20 GB 1 | 400 minutes | 75 minutes | 30 days |
1 +unlimited data @ 128 Kbps after exhausting your high-speed data allowance (super slow!)

3 SIM card is valid for 30 days

Insiders have informed me that unless you have a residence permit for Qatar, like migrant workers or students do, expect Ooredoo to only sell you Fan SIM tourist SIM cards instead of regular ones (the ones that are “free”).
Luckily, you can purchase regular Ooredoo plans when your initial plan expires, which extends the validity of your SIM card (to 150 days).
Dial *100# to access the Ooredoo menu.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)

Ooredoo has no eSIMs (anymore).
Ooredoo launched eSIMs back in November 2018, but it has quietly phased out at an unknown date.
Just before the World Cup started, Ooredoo reintroduced eSIMs (which are also available to prepaid customers)!
You should consider getting a travel eSIM for Qatar because they can sometimes be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Ooredoo.
Especially if you get a Middle East-wide eSIM or a global eSIM.
I discuss various eSIM options of eSIM providers for Qatar in my Qatar eSIM buying guide, which are:
- Airalo: Pearl Mobile (Qatar only), Menalink (15 countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + minutes and SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Qatar – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Qatar – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Qatar, Middle East (seven countries) & Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
As I said, check out my Qatar eSIM buying guide for more information, as I have to continue with Ooredoo for now.

Vodafone Qatar (قطر)

Vodafone Qatar (قطر), just Vodafone, is the other mobile operator in Qatar.

While Vodafone never overtook Ooredoo Qatar, it still has a market share of between 30% and 40%.
The Vodafone Group does not own Vodafone Qatar anymore.
It sold its Vodafone Qatar majority stake to Qatar Foundation in 2018.
Still, the Vodafone brand will stick for the time being.

It is possible to get a Vodafone eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.
You can consider getting a travel eSIM for Qatar, which can, in specific scenarios, be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Vodafone.
Especially if you get a Middle East eSIM (for when you visit at least two or more supported Middle Eastern countries) or a global eSIM (for frequent travelers visiting multiple continents).
In my Qatar eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.
But I will introduce them here quickly:
- Airalo: Pearl Mobile (Qatar only), Menalink (15 countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Qatar – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Qatar – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
- Nomad: Qatar, Middle East (seven countries) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)
