The SIM Shop eSIM Data Plans for United Arab Emirates

The SIM Shop does not provide an unlimited data eSIM for the United Arab Emirates. Every available plan has a fixed data limit: the highest is 20GB and the lowest is 10GB.

Users can choose from several fixed data plans. For example, the United Arab Emirates eSIM – 20GB data – 30 days gives 20GB of 5G data for 30 days and costs $41.20 USD, while the United Arab Emirates eSIM – 10GB data – 30 days offers 10GB of 5G data for the same period at $25.82 USD. Selecting a fixed data plan can be more cost‑effective unless a traveler expects to use far more data than the plan’s allowance.

The SIM Shop does not provide a United Arab Emirates eSIM plan that includes a phone number or SMS capability; only data‑only plans are offered by the provider.

Travelers can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage to make calls and send messages over the data connection, but they should verify that these apps are accessible in the United Arab Emirates before purchasing a plan.

The SIM Shop offers five single‑country data plans that cover the United Arab Emirates, and it also provides thirty‑one multi‑country plans that include UAE coverage. These options span a price range from about $4.95 to $132.42 and a data cap range from 1 GB to 20 GB for the validity period. Some of the plans are fixed‑data packages, which give a set amount of data for the entire validity, while a smaller subset—four plans—feature a daily data cap that limits the amount of data that can be used each day.
