Collection: UAE & Dubai eSIM

For many Australians, Dubai is the classic stopover on the long haul to Europe. Whether it's a 24-hour layover or a week across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, you'll want data the moment you land — booking a ride from the airport, riding the Metro to the Dubai Mall, sharing photos from the Burj Khalifa. And when the desert heat sends the whole city indoors, everything from restaurant bookings to desert-safari pickups runs on your phone. A prepaid ESIMStore eSIM, from $13.30 AUD, means no airport SIM queue and no roaming bill shock.

Why an eSIM for UAE & Dubai

• Instant delivery — your eSIM arrives by email as a QR code, ready to set up before you leave Australia.
• Keep your Aussie number — dual SIM keeps your Australian SIM active for calls and bank codes while the eSIM handles data.
• Prepaid and predictable — pay upfront and come home to no nasty roaming bill.
• Easy to manage — top-ups are available, and the ESIMStore app (iPhone and Android) shows your live data usage.

How it works

Buy your plan online and your eSIM QR code arrives by email straight away. Scan it on your phone before you fly. Your data activates when you land in the UAE, so you're online before you've cleared passport control. New to eSIMs? See our how it works guide for the full walkthrough.

FAQs

Will my iPhone work with an eSIM in UAE & Dubai?

Yes — most recent iPhones and Android phones support eSIM. Just make sure your handset is unlocked, scan the emailed QR code before you fly, and your data switches on when you land in Dubai.

Does one eSIM cover both Dubai and Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Your plan works across the UAE on 4G/5G partner networks where available, so a day trip to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi needs no extra setup. Top-ups are available if you need more data.

Can I keep my Australian number while I'm in the UAE?

Yes — an eSIM sits alongside your physical SIM, so your Australian number stays active for calls and SMS while the eSIM handles data. Just switch off data roaming on your Australian SIM to avoid charges.
