Jeddah airport — can the STC stand replace my old SIMs, or do I need a shop?

I'm arriving into Jeddah in September for Umrah and want to pick up two physical STC SIM cards at the airport stand on arrival.

The issue is the two-SIM-per-passport limit.

I was last there in April 2026 and already took out two SIMs on my passport (my wife did the same on hers for other family members). So I've already used my allowance.

My questions:

Can the STC stand at Jeddah airport actually cancel/remove the two old SIMs tied to my passport and issue me two fresh ones on the spot?

Or does that only work at a proper STC store in town, not the airport kiosk?

Has anyone dealt with this at Jeddah airport specifically? Just want to know whether I can sort it there and then, or if I'll need to head to an STC shop afterwards. Thanks!
