Choosing an eSIM for the United Arab Emirates
All 128 plans here use Etisalat and du. The UAE's other operator is e&, formerly Etisalat; Virgin Mobile runs on du.
None of these plans exits in the United Arab Emirates right now: 27 state an exit in Netherlands, so sites limited to local IP addresses may not open.
Another 101 don't state an exit.
e& and du also offer visitors their own lines at the airport, registered with your passport, with a limit of two lines per operator. e& advertises a free visitor line with 10GB for 24 hours. Plans here are installed before you fly and need no local registration.

About eSIMs for United Arab Emirates
Do I need a visa for Dubai?
Many passports, including British, American, Canadian, Australian, Japanese, Korean and most EU ones, get a free visa on arrival with no application in advance. British citizens can stay up to 90 days in a 180-day period. Check the rules for your passport before you book.
Does one plan cover Dubai and Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Plans cover the whole country, all seven emirates.
Which operators will my phone use in United Arab Emirates?
Etisalat, du. Which one you connect to depends on local signal.
Where in United Arab Emirates can I use it?
Anywhere the plan’s networks have signal, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi; rural and mountain areas depend on local coverage.
Is 5G supported?
Yes. Operators here are listed with 5G; each plan's networks show which.
What happens when the data runs out?
It depends on the plan: some keep a usable speed of 1 Mbps / 5 Mbps; others drop to 128 Kbps / 384 Kbps / 500 Kbps / 512 Kbps, which is enough for messaging; others stop data.
When does the validity start?
It starts when the eSIM first connects to a network. You can install it before you go.
Are there unlimited plans?

Can I use a hotspot to share data in United Arab Emirates?
Every plan here states personal hotspot support, so you can share data with a laptop or travel companions. It comes out of this eSIM’s allowance.
Can I install the same eSIM on a second phone?
No. Each QR code installs once. If you delete the eSIM or reset the phone, it can't be installed again, and once it has connected to a network it can't be refunded.
Can I top up data or extend validity?
Some plans add data, some add days, and some can't be topped up; each plan says which. Top up from the eSIM in My eSIMs. There's nothing new to install.
