What should you choose for Dubai?
Short stopover: prioritize airport transfer directions, hotel check-in and booking confirmations. One-week trip: allow for daily maps, restaurant bookings, transport apps and photos. Longer stay: compare the 30-day fixed-data and Unlimited, Essential and Plus options directly; all four families include 30-day variants.
Important: messaging and internet calling in the UAE
A data eSIM supplies mobile internet but does not guarantee that every internet calling or video calling app will work in the UAE. Local rules and network restrictions may affect particular services. Check the current availability of any calling app you rely on and keep an alternative contact method for your hotel, driver or travel companions.
For a smoother arrival, save your airport terminal, hotel address and transfer confirmation offline. If your itinerary continues to Abu Dhabi or another emirate, check the selected UAE plan's coverage terms. For travel outside the UAE, review a suitable regional plan instead of assuming a UAE-only package includes other countries.
Prices may change. Always check the product page for the latest prices.
Connects to du, with 4G/5G where available.
Essential and Plus refresh their high-speed allowances daily. Premium provides one high-speed pool for the entire plan; fixed data is one total allowance.
DXB and Al Maktoum airport arrivals
Dubai International Airport, DXB, has Red Line Metro stations at Terminals 1 and 3, with connections toward central Dubai. Save the station nearest your hotel and the final walk or taxi connection before boarding. For an arrival at Al Maktoum International Airport, DWC, arrange an airport taxi or your booked transfer to the accommodation address; keep that airport code beside your driver’s meeting instructions.
Metro, Tram and Creek crossings
Dubai Metro’s Red and Green lines, Dubai Tram and RTA buses serve different parts of the city. Save the interchange and hotel entrance when combining them. Signal can dip through underground Metro sections and inside large buildings, so download tickets and meeting pins before traveling. Around Dubai Creek, abras connect the Bur Dubai and Deira sides; save your boarding location and destination bank before joining the queue.
- Downtown Dubai: store your Burj Khalifa booking and its Dubai Mall entry instructions together, rather than navigating only to the tower’s outdoor map pin.
- Dubai Marina: mark your specific promenade meeting point and download the route from your Tram or Metro stop before sharing waterfront videos.
- Al Fahidi: save your museum or café’s exact address and an offline walking route through the historic lanes.
- Deira: keep your souk meeting point and return abra location on your phone before exploring the market streets.
Dubai-specific tip: for a Burj Khalifa visit, use the entrance instructions attached to your ticket. The Metro station, Dubai Mall and attraction entrance are different stages of the journey, so save the whole approach before setting off.
For a desert safari, download the operator’s pickup details and contact information at your hotel before leaving city reception behind.
Choose your data
- Light use: fixed 5GB for hotel messages, reservations and occasional directions.

Follow the Dubai Mall entry instructions on your attraction ticket and save the approach from your Metro stop or taxi drop-off. Keep the reserved time alongside those directions.
