Get Saily eSIMThe UAE telecom market is effectively a duopoly (du and Etisalat / e&) with Virgin Mobile operating as an MVNO on du's network. Residents tend to optimise for home fibre bundles — both incumbents bundle OSN+ or Netflix into mid-tier home internet plans. Travellers and short-stay visitors are usually better served by an eSIM (Airalo, Holafly, Saily) than buying a prepaid local SIM at the airport — eSIMs activate in minutes, work across multiple GCC countries on a single plan, and cost a fraction of postpaid roaming. The TRA has strict KYC requirements for physical SIMs in the UAE (Emirates ID or passport required), which is why visitor eSIMs have become so popular.
