Internet in Dubai - local SIM cards

Dubai - Unlimited XOXO WiFi Internet on Mobile Router In the United Arab Emirates, it is mandatory to register SIM cards. This is most often done by presenting a passport. Tourists can take advantage of slightly different phone plans than those who have visas for a stay of more than 90 days. You have to pay AED 150 for about 20 GB of data per week in the UAE. It is also possible to buy larger packages, for 200 or even 300 AED.

Internet in Dubai is offered by the following mobile operators:

DU,
Etisalat,
Virgin Mobile,
Swyp

A local SIM card must be purchased to take advantage of what these companies offer. In Dubai, adult tourists also receive a free card that works for 24 hours - this is handed out during document control at the international airport. It provides Internet access on the first day after arrival, making it easier to find your way around a new place.

What instead of a local SIM card?

To have internet in Dubai, an alternative to local SIM cards is an eSIM router from XOXO WiFi. It allows up to five devices to connect to the network at the same time, which cannot be said of traditional SIM cards. It provides unlimited internet not only in the UAE, but also in other countries.

The mobile router from XOXO WiFi also allows you to:
automatic connection to the best available network - thanks to it you gain access to the Internet also on the outskirts of the city, where coverage is worse,
unlimited Internet access - after using the purchased package, the Internet speed decreases, but still allows you to perform basic operations,
use immediately after leaving the plane - you don't have to worry about activating a SIM card or package from a Polish operator,
using the Internet from different devices - the router provides private Wi-Fi, so you can connect your smartphone, as well as your laptop, tablet or even smart TV.

Renting a mobile router is usually a much cheaper solution than buying a local SIM card upon arrival in Dubai. You can order this device in Poland and take it with you on your trip - even if you are moving around the world with just hand luggage.
