Internet in Dubai without roaming
Roaming from your home operator in the UAE is usually expensive, and a local SIM card requires a passport and registration. eSIM can be installed in advance and activated after landing at DXB or AUH — you can immediately call a taxi via an app, open metro maps, and contact your hotel.
What data volume to choose
There is a lot of free Wi-Fi in malls, hotels, and the metro in the UAE, so for a short trip, 1-3 GB is usually enough. For business trips, working with a laptop, or long vacations, choose 10 GB or more.
Coverage and speed
The mobile network in the UAE is one of the fastest in the world: 4G and 5G are available in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and along major highways. The package connects to national operators, with the list provided in each plan.
