href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/go\/middle-east-airalo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">its Menalink eSIM<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standing for <em>Middle East and North Africa-link<\/em>, the eSIM can be used in 15 countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At that time, I had travel plans to stay in the Asia Pacific region, so I could not test it as soon as it was released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the first anniversary of the introduction of Menalink, I finally managed to try out the eSIM in various countries (and it will be tested in more destinations in 2024).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And at each destination, I was accompanied by friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may recall Jakub from my North America SIM card and eSIM series, who joined me in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"

(Middle East) eSIM in most supported countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am not in a hurry to visit Iraq, Israel, Palestine &amp; Sudan for the time being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>Although I was supposed to go to Israel on this trip, something made me reconsider the journey if you get me <\/em>&#129394;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either way, achieving the goal of visiting most or all supported Menalink countries will take me a while if I want to get meaningful data to analyze for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So stay tuned &#128527;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before continuing, I want to show you how travel eSIM providers like Airalo work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is impossible for Airalo, or any other mobile operator, to operate in every country (and do not trust any company saying otherwise), so they set up <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">roaming agreements<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And do not worry about the word roaming yet &ndash; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/why-international-roaming-is-expensive\/\">roaming can be expensive<\/a>, but roaming with Airalo or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/phone-travel-options\/best-local-esims\/\">other travel eSIM providers<\/a> will not result in a 5000 USD roaming bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What Airalo does, and basically all (actual) mobile operators do, is partner up with a local mobile operator so their customers can stay connected abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Airalo Menalink eSIM uses the networks of 15 local mobile operators (mostly Ooredoo, Orange &amp; Zain) with the help of Singtel from Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><noscript><img

to geographical proximity (reducing latency).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, some of the networks the Menalink eSIM uses are good, while the others suck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worse, you often have a not-up-to-par performance on their network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is because you are <em>roaming <\/em>on the local networks instead of being a <em>native customer<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that does not mean you will have (incredibly) slow speeds &ndash; just slower than <em>native<\/em> customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I cannot give an average percentage because it depends on the roaming agreement Airalo has made&hellip; that is why I have to test the eSIM everywhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I will extensively test the Airalo Menalink eSIM in each city and country I visit, I will not analyze it in-depth in this review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not because I do not want to, but this review would be excessively long after analyzing a handful of countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I will give you a &ldquo;brief&rdquo; analysis, which is still elaborate (lol), of the eSIM's performance per country and will link to the in-depth country-specific review, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phonetravelwiz.com\/airalo-menalink-egypt-esim-review\/\">my Airalo Menalink experience in Egypt<\/a> (review has yet to be written).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That way, this review loads fast on your end, and you can have a quick overview of which countries the eSIM works well and which ones it does not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you can click the links below to jump to the country you are
