Which UAE eSIM package covers your trip?

UAE eSIMs priced two different ways: Airalo's unlimited packages by trip length on Etisalat (e&), and fixed-data packages from Airalo and Yesim by the gigabyte. Enter your dates and how much data you expect to use, and this shows what each one costs for that trip.

Your trip

Every option

These are priced on different axes, which is why the table above needs both your dates and your data. Airalo's unlimited packages are unlimited, slowed to 1 Mbps after 3 GB a day, are priced by trip length and run on Etisalat (e&). Yesim sells a fixed number of gigabytes โ€”1 GB to 30 GB, all valid 30 days โ€” so with Yesim the question is how much you use, not how long you stay. Airalo's fixed-data packages ask both: a set amount of data for a set number of days. The first ladder below is Airalo's unlimited one.

3 daysUSD 12.50USD 4.17
5 daysUSD 19.00USD 3.80

What this does not do

It does not compare against your home carrier's roaming, because those terms are your carrier's and we cannot read them.

For the reasoning behind all of this, including when the carrier counter is the better route, see eSIM, local SIM or roaming.
