one of these should meet your needs. We’ve had a Huawei mifi for years and used it with great success all over Europe, Asia, Middle East, and Africa. When you find one you like, check out this web site:

This will help you find the best SIM card for you for your trip. A couple of pieces of advice:

1) Try to buy SIMs directly from the carrier you’ve picked in stores they own and operate. I’ve had much more success by doing that. Not to say that buying from independent shops won’t work, but it seems like the carrier shops are more invested in helping you get set up.

2) Don’t leave the site where you buy your SIM card until you verify that you have internet access. You may need their help with configuration.

3) Make sure you understand how and when to program the APN.

It’s really great to have wifi for everyone in your travelling party - enjoy! Reply if you have more questions, am happy to help.
Thanks! I will study the Amazon offerings. I plan to buy the local SIM card at the airport. Usually the biggest carriers of the country would have shops at the airport. I need this in Jordan and Egypt.
