United Arab Emirates eSIM

UAE eSIM for Dubai stopovers and trips across the emirates

Check your Dubai hotel booking, find your Abu Dhabi transfer or keep Yas Island tickets handy with an AloOui United Arab Emirates eSIM. Choose fixed data or Unlimited Lite, Essential or Plus. Your QR code is delivered by email after purchase, with no ID required for the AloOui eSIM purchase. This does not waive local legal requirements.

Choose your UAE plan

• Lighter stopover use: fixed 1GB for 7 days or 3GB for 30 days is a starting point between Wi-Fi connections.
• Balanced week-long holiday: Unlimited Essential for 7 days provides 1GB of high-speed data daily, then continued data at up to 1.25 Mbps for the rest of that day.
• More uploads or hotspot use: Unlimited Plus provides 2GB of high-speed data daily, then continued data at up to 2 Mbps. Match the duration to your stay.

Compare selectable plans

Standard United Arab Emirates Unlimited options are Lite. Daily high-speed allowances refresh each day; reduced speeds apply after that day's allowance is used. Unlimited does not mean unrestricted high-speed data. Fixed plans end when their total allowance or validity runs out, whichever comes first, without reduced-speed continuation. No Premium option is currently selectable.

UAE coverage on du and Etisalat

This plan covers the United Arab Emirates only, not Oman, Saudi Arabia or other neighboring countries. Listed partners are du and Etisalat UAE, both with 4G/5G support. Available speeds depend on your device, partner and local conditions; 5G is not guaranteed everywhere.

Desert trips, mountain routes and busy venues

Save maps, tickets and accommodation details offline before desert excursions or mountain journeys. Reception can vary inside large venues and buildings, along highways and in remote areas. Plan appropriate backup communications for remote travel rather than relying on mobile data alone.

Hotspot, messaging and data-only service

Hotspot sharing is available where supported by your device and network. Shared usage counts toward the same total or daily high-speed allowance. Large uploads, backups and streaming can use data quickly.

This eSIM does not include a UAE phone number, native calls or SMS. Internet-based app features, including voice and video calling, may be subject to local restrictions; this plan does not guarantee access to a particular app or bypass those restrictions. If you keep your home SIM for calls or SMS, check its roaming charges and turn off its data roaming.

Install before departure, activate when ready

Use an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked device and stable Wi-Fi to install the QR code from your email. Choose Add eSIM in your phone's cellular or SIM settings; menus vary by device.

Validity starts when the eSIM activates by connecting to a supported UAE network. Installation alone does not start validity. If you are already in the UAE, enabling the line and connecting can start your plan.

When ready, enable AloOui, select it for mobile data and turn on data roaming for that line. Disable automatic mobile-data switching to your home SIM where available.

APN and connection help

1. Check that AloOui is enabled, selected for mobile data and has data roaming on.
2. If an APN is required, enter data.esim, leave username and password blank, and save/select it. Some devices configure this automatically.
3. Toggle airplane mode or restart your phone. Try 4G/LTE if 5G is unstable.
4. Start with automatic network selection. If needed, choose a listed supported partner.
5. Check remaining data and validity. Do not delete the eSIM while troubleshooting; contact support first.

Get assistance through the AloOui Help Center.

Also visiting Oman or Turkey?

Compare the separate Middle East Long Trip eSIM, which lists the UAE, Oman, Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Morocco, with fixed 20GB/60-day and 50GB/90-day options. It does not include Saudi Arabia or Qatar. Check every stop before buying. It is a separate purchase, not additional coverage included with this UAE plan.
