How do I get a SIM card in Dubai as a newcomer?

You can easily get a SIM card in Dubai from major providers like Etisalat or Du. To do this, you'll need your passport and residency visa, and the cost usually starts around AED 50 for prepaid packages. When I arrived in Dubai, I opted for a prepaid plan that offered a good amount of data and was set up within minutes at a local store!
