Questions about eSIMs in the United Arab Emirates

Answers come from the plans we checked and from what each provider states on its website.

Providers compared

For the United Arab Emirates, we compare plans from GigSky, GoMoWorld, Jetpac, Nomad, Orange Travel, Ubigi, and Yesim. This comparison is not exhaustive: other providers exist, and we add more over time.

How our comparison works

What is the cheapest eSIM for the United Arab Emirates?

For one week with 6 GB, the cheapest plan in our comparison is Jetpac, at $16.00 (10 GB · 7 days). The cheapest of all the plans we found costs €0.45 at Yesim (105 MB · 1 day). Prices change often: the podium above is recalculated at every check.

Which eSIM for a month in the United Arab Emirates?

For 30 days of everyday use (24 GB), the cheapest is Orange Travel at €34.99 (50 GB · 30 days). The best unlimited plan is Jetpac, at $69.00 (Unlimited · 30 days): 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps.

Are unlimited plans really unlimited?

Rarely without conditions. At most of the providers we compare, the speed drops after a daily amount of data: 3 GB at Jetpac, 2 GB at Nomad, and 5 GB at Ubigi. You stay connected at a slower speed, enough for messages and maps but not for video. The terms of each plan are shown on the podium.

What are the mobile networks in the United Arab Emirates?

The United Arab Emirates has 2 mobile operators: Etisalat (e&) and du. A travel eSIM uses one or more of them; when the provider says which, the network appears under its name on the podium.

Is 5G available in the United Arab Emirates?

6 of the 7 providers advertise 5G in the United Arab Emirates: GigSky, GoMoWorld, Jetpac, Orange Travel, Ubigi, and Yesim. It depends on local coverage; elsewhere you get 4G.

Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot in the United Arab Emirates?

Yes: 6 providers out of 7 allow it.

When should I activate my eSIM for the United Arab Emirates?

With most of the providers we compare, validity starts when you first connect there, so you can install the eSIM before you leave. Time to activate after purchase: 1 year with GigSky, 6 months with Ubigi, 180 days with Yesim, 3 months with Jetpac, and 60 days with Nomad. With GoMoWorld, the plan starts when you launch it in the app.

Do I need ID for an eSIM in the United Arab Emirates?

Not with Jetpac, Nomad, and Yesim: no identity check is required. With Orange Travel, an ID check (passport) is required after 31 days. The other providers do not say.
