Ethiopia eSIM for Addis Ababa, Lalibela and Harar
Compare Ethiopia eSIM plans for an exact Addis Ababa address, a separate Lalibela stop and a confirmed arrangement in Harar.
Use the booked address and arrival contact for a stay in Addis Ababa. In Lalibela, keep an airport pickup separate from the confirmed meeting point for a church visit, because the airport is outside the town. For Harar, save the precise old-city entrance and host; if the arrival is through Dire Dawa, retain those transport details separately. These place distinctions organise the trip but do not predict mobile reception.
For this trip
Which Ethiopia eSIM fits this trip?
Choose an Ethiopia plan valid from first arrival through final departure. Allow data for coordinating a booked Addis Ababa stay, confirming whether the Lalibela pickup is at the airport or the church meeting place, and navigating to the Harar old-city entrance after any Dire Dawa arrival. Add file or photo uploads, internet calls and connected-device work. Confirm Ethiopia in the exact list and check every other country separately.
Horizon sells the Ethiopia plans shown here. Compare the live cards for available data amounts, validity and the exact destination list.

How eSIM works in Ethiopia
Install the Ethiopia eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before departure, and keep its QR code and manual setup details offline. Leave the line off until you are in Ethiopia. Then choose Horizon for mobile data and enable roaming on that line. The eSIM's first successful connection to a supported network in Ethiopia marks day one of the selected validity period. Horizon supplies data without a local phone number. A compatible dual-SIM phone can retain the home SIM, whose provider may charge for use abroad.
Install your eSIM
Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.
Land & connect
Data activates on first connection at your destination.
Size it to your trip
Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.
As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.

- Maps every day
- Messaging and photos
- A short call home most days
In total, a 5 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,700 shared photos, 83 hours of social media and browsing, 15 hours of video calls, 63 hours of music streaming, or about 1000 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Choose for the whole Ethiopia itinerary
Count every day in Ethiopia, then estimate messages and maps separately from photo uploads or laptop sharing. Confirm Ethiopia on the exact destination list before buying. Ethiopia is outside Horizon's current Africa regional selection, so use a separate country plan for this visit. Check another country independently if it appears anywhere in the route.

Frequently asked questions
What fits a stay in Addis Ababa?
Match validity to all days in Addis Ababa. Estimate ordinary messages and maps from your usual app use, then add any planned document, photo or video transfers.
How should I prepare for Lalibela?
Treat Lalibela as another arrival. Save its address and contact offline, and include its days and expected data tasks in the plan comparison.
What should I save for Harar?
Keep the exact Harar destination, organiser or host and confirmed return arrangement offline. A place name alone is not a complete meeting instruction.
Is Ethiopia in the Africa regional selection?
No. Horizon’s current Africa regional selection does not include Ethiopia. Choose an Ethiopia country plan, and check any onward country independently before relying on it for data.
Can I share data from my phone?
Yes. Hotspot is free on every Horizon Ethiopia plan. Your phone and connected devices draw from the same plan allowance, and Horizon does not throttle the connection.
When should I turn on the eSIM?
Set up the profile on reliable Wi-Fi before travel and leave it off until you are in Ethiopia. Its first successful connection to a supported network there sets the selected validity period in motion.
