Getting online in United Arab Emirates
The UAE has some of the fastest mobile networks in the world, and this eSIM connects through du and Etisalat (e&). Dubai and Abu Dhabi have strong 5G across the city, the malls, the metro and the airport. Even desert safari camps outside Dubai usually have some signal, though it can be weak once you're out in the dunes.
Careem and Uber work well for getting around, and the Dubai Metro is easy to follow with Google Maps. Summer heat means most of your day is spent indoors, where Wi-Fi is everywhere, so many visitors find a modest plan is enough.
One thing to know before you go: voice and video calls over apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime have long been restricted in the UAE, although messaging works normally. If you need to call home, check which calling apps currently work before you rely on them, or keep your home SIM active for regular calls.
