Visiting Dubai or Abu Dhabi? A UAE eSIM gets you connected the instant you land — for navigating the malls, booking desert safaris, and sharing that skyline. Set it up before you fly and skip the roaming fees.
Which networks does the United Arab Emirates eSIM use?
Turnaa’s United Arab Emirates eSIM connects to Etisalat (5G where available), automatically choosing the strongest available signal — so you get reliable data without changing your number.
How much data do I need?
- Light use (maps, messaging, email): 1–3 GB for a week.
- Regular use (social, browsing, some streaming): 5–10 GB.
- Heavy use or longer stays: an unlimited daily plan.
United Arab Emirates plans start at $2.99, with 19 options to choose from.
Local tip
Worth knowing: the UAE restricts some VoIP calling apps, so WhatsApp and FaceTime audio/video calls may be blocked on local networks. Messaging and data still work fine — plan to use those to stay in touch.
How to set up your United Arab Emirates eSIM
- Pick a plan and check out — your QR code is emailed in seconds.
- Open Settings › Cellular › Add eSIM and scan the QR (or tap “Install on this iPhone” on iOS 17.4+).
- Set it as your data line — you are online.
Tip: install it before you fly (you need internet to set it up), then switch it on when you land.
