How much travel data do I need with my UAE eSIM?

The best thing about a United Arab Emirates (UAE) eSIM is that it comes with flexible data plans, so you can start with a smaller package and top up as needed.
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.

Not at all. A United Arab Emirates (UAE) eSIM is an affordable option that helps you save on roaming charges. With a United Arab Emirates (UAE) eSIM, you won’t pay any roaming charges because it connects you directly to a local network.
To avoid roaming charges on your primary SIM, please make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your primary SIM (and confirmed you aren’t enrolled in a carrier travel plan) to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill.
