Why get an eSIM for Dubai?
Reliable mobile internet is one of the first things you'll want when visiting Dubai. With the eSIM Surfer app you can buy and install your data plan before you even leave home, so you're connected the moment you land: no airport SIM counters, no hunting for a local shop.
Roaming charges outside your home network can be steep in Dubai. With an eSIM you pay a fixed price up front and go online the instant you arrive, with no surprise bills when you get home.
Coverage in Dubai and the other main cities of the UAE is typically solid, with 4G/LTE available across most popular destinations. Prices are shown in EUR and paid in advance, so there's nothing to work out after your trip.
