📦 Total Data Plans — pay once, use it your way
From a light 1GB top-up to a generous 20GB for 30 days of travel, our United Arab Emirates Total Data plans are built around how long you're actually staying — pay for what you need, nothing more.
♾️ Daily Unlimited Plans — never run dry mid-trip
Prefer not to think about gigabytes at all? Daily Unlimited resets your high-speed data every single morning — choose anywhere from 2GB to 5GB a day and simply pick how many days you need at checkout.
💡 Tip: Data tends to disappear faster while traveling than it does at home — your phone is constantly searching for and switching between local networks, which uses extra data in the background. First time trying an eSIM? Start with a small plan to test everything works, then grab a bigger one once you're connected and confident.
🤔 Total Data or Daily Unlimited — here's how to decide
📦 Total Data gives you a fixed amount of high-speed data that lasts for the whole validity period. Once it's used up, it's used up — great if you know roughly how much data your trip needs and want the lowest price.
♾️ Daily Unlimited gives you a fresh high-speed data allowance every single day. If you go over that day's allowance, your connection doesn't stop — it simply slows down to 1 Mbps (still fine for maps, messaging, and basic browsing) until midnight, then resets to full speed again the next day. You choose how many days you need at checkout, and you're never caught with zero data mid-trip.
✅ Pick Total Data if:
You mostly use maps, messaging & light browsing, and want the cheapest option.
✅ Pick Daily Unlimited if:
You stream, video call often, or just don't want to track your usage during the trip.

Frequently Asked Questions — United Arab Emirates eSIM
What is a United Arab Emirates eSIM?
It's a digital SIM that gives you mobile data in United Arab Emirates on arrival, without needing a physical SIM card from a local carrier.
How do I get internet in United Arab Emirates as a tourist?
The easiest way is an eSIM like this one: install it before you travel, and you'll have data the moment you land in United Arab Emirates — no local SIM shop, no unreliable airport Wi-Fi.
Do I need to keep my regular SIM in the phone?
Yes — this is a data-only plan. Keep your home SIM active for calls/SMS, and use the Maxesimo eSIM as a secondary line for data while traveling.
When does the plan validity start?
The validity period starts when your eSIM first connects to a supported network in United Arab Emirates — not from the moment of purchase. You can install it as soon as you buy it and activate whenever you're ready.
Can I top up if I run out of data?
If you use up your data before the plan expires, simply purchase another Maxesimo eSIM for United Arab Emirates to keep your connection going — no need to remove or reinstall the existing profile.
I see two plan types above — what's the real difference?
A Total Data plan gives you one pool of gigabytes to spend across your whole trip. A Daily Unlimited plan instead refills your allowance every single day, so a heavy-data day never leaves you short — go over your daily cap and you're throttled to 1 Mbps (not cut off) until it resets at midnight.
How much does my speed actually drop on a Daily Unlimited plan?
Once you pass your day's high-speed allowance, your connection is throttled to 1 Mbps until midnight, when it resets. We list this exact number rather than just saying "slower" so you know precisely what to expect — no surprises.
What can I actually do at 1 Mbps?
1 Mbps comfortably handles Google Maps, WhatsApp, Instagram/X browsing, email, and most websites — it just won't be smooth for HD video streaming or large downloads. For most travellers it's more than enough to get through the rest of the day until your allowance resets.
Which one should I pick for my trip to United Arab Emirates?
If you're mostly checking maps and messaging between sightseeing stops, a Total Data plan is the cheaper option. If you're streaming, on frequent video calls, or hotspotting for a group, Daily Unlimited means you can stop counting gigabytes altogether.
