Collection: Middle East eSIM

3 products

For Australians, the Middle East is the great crossroads — the stopover between home and Europe, and increasingly a holiday in its own right. Plenty of us stretch a layover in Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi into a few days of souks, skyscrapers and desert sunsets; others go further, to Petra's rose-red ruins, Oman's wadis and forts, or a float in the Dead Sea. Whatever brings you through, a prepaid Middle East eSIM from $18.30 AUD skips the airport SIM queue and has you connected the moment you land, with 4G/5G on partner networks where available.

Why an eSIM for the Middle East

  • Sorted before you fly — your QR code arrives by email instantly; scan at home and data activates on landing.
  • Keep your Australian number — the eSIM runs alongside your normal SIM, so banking texts still reach you.
  • Prepaid and predictable — from $18.30 AUD, no roaming bill afterwards.
  • Track and top up — live data usage and top-ups in the ESIMStore app for iPhone and Android.

How it works

Buy your plan and the eSIM arrives by email as a QR code, instantly. Scan it before you fly, while you're on home wi-fi, and data activates on landing — no airport SIM queue, no hunting for hotel wi-fi. See how it works.

Turning the stopover into something bigger? Pair this with a dedicated Egypt eSIM for the pyramids, an Oman eSIM for a Muscat side trip, or an Africa eSIM for safari country — and manage them all in the ESIMStore app.

FAQs

Will my iPhone work with an eSIM in the Middle East?

Almost certainly — most iPhones and Android phones sold in Australia in recent years support eSIM, provided the handset is unlocked. If you're unsure, our Australian-based support team can check your model before you buy.

Can I keep my Australian number while I'm overseas?

Yes — the eSIM sits alongside your existing SIM, so your Australian number stays active for calls and banking texts while the eSIM carries the data. Switch off data roaming on your Australian SIM to avoid surprise charges.

Is it worth getting an eSIM for a short stopover in Dubai or Doha?

Even a one-night stopover is easier with data for maps, rideshares and finding your hotel. Your QR code arrives instantly by email, so you can sort it right up until boarding — just check each plan's coverage list includes your stopover country.
