Good to know before you go to United Arab Emirates
The UAE has some of the fastest, most consistent mobile coverage anywhere in the world across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, so an eSIM here rarely runs into dead zones in the cities. Even desert excursions and the drive between Dubai and Abu Dhabi stay well connected along the main highway. Data use tends to run higher than a typical city break because of ride-hailing apps, mall navigation, and heavy social-media sharing — 5-8GB a week is a comfortable range for most visitors.
