Why buy a United Arab Emirates travel eSIM from Olysim
Pick the size that fits the trip
A long weekend and a month in United Arab Emirates need very different plans, so you choose the data and the days. Around 3GB covers a week of maps, messaging and a daily scroll; 10GB carries a fortnight with video calls home.
Set it up at home, land connected
The QR code arrives by email seconds after payment. Scan it on wi-fi before you leave, and the United Arab Emirates line comes alive on its own once you land and switch it on.
Someone answers, any hour
Stuck on the install, or the line will not attach after landing? Message us and a person replies, whatever the hour is where you are.
What is an eSIM and how does a travel eSIM work?
A SIM built into the phone
Phones from the iPhone XS onward, and most Android flagships since 2019, carry an eSIM slot alongside the usual tray. Adding a travel plan writes it to that slot, and your everyday SIM stays where it is.
The QR code is the plan
Scanning the code from your email writes the plan onto that handset. It installs once and stays there, so scan it on the phone you are actually travelling with.
Skip the arrivals counter
Buying a local SIM at arrivals usually means a passport, a form and a queue, in a language you may not read. An eSIM is already on the phone when the wheels touch down.
United Arab Emirates eSIM: frequently asked questions
Etisalat and du, the two networks that cover the Emirates. The phone joins whichever is stronger, so the reach matches a local SIM.
Yes. The plan covers the whole UAE, so the drive down to Abu Dhabi or across to Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah stays on the same profile.
On the usual dune camps, yes. Etisalat and du reach well beyond the built-up areas; deep in the empty quarter the signal thins out, as it would on any UAE SIM.
For a long layover, yes. The plan starts from 3 days, and it means the metro map, the ride app and the hotel booking all work from the moment you clear immigration at DXB.
Any carrier-unlocked phone with eSIM support: iPhone XS or later, Pixel 3 or later, most Android flagships from 2019 on. Check for Add eSIM in network settings.
Yes. Top up from the Olysim app and it lands on the eSIM already on the phone.
