Say goodbye to the inconvenience of carrying multiple SIM cards or worrying about losing or damaging them. eSIMs also offer flexibility and convenience for those who frequently switch devices or upgrade their smartphones.

The "Unlimited Data 15-day" and "Unlimited Data 30-day" Tourist Plans include "Free Internet Calling" for the duration of your plan. This feature allows you to make voice and video calls over the internet using the BOTIM app.

Even if you switch to a recurring Plan or Pay as You Go, you'll still be able to use voice and data boosters whenever you need them.
All Tourist Plans include 30 local minutes/SMS and 20 international minutes.
For both plans, the daily data counter resets at midnight, and any unused data allowance is forfeited. This means you have a fresh amount of data to use each day, but any leftover data from the previous day doesn't carry over. This does not apply to Unlimited Data Plans.
No, the Tourist Plans are one-time only and cannot be renewed.
No, the Tourist Plans only apply to Passport or GCC ID holders.
For the fastest and most convenient option, choose an eSIM! It activates instantly, so you can connect immediately without visiting a kiosk. If you prefer a physical SIM, you can collect one at our stores upon arrival at Dubai International Airport (Terminals 1, 2, and 3), Sharjah International Airport, or Abu Dhabi International Airport.
The Tourist Plans are valid for 7, 10, 15, or 30 days.
To use an eSIM, your device must be carrier-unlocked and eSIM-compatible. Please reference the list below (both for iOS and Android devices) to see if your device supports eSIM technology. (Note that country and carrier-specific restrictions may apply.)
