How to get a SIM card in Dubai as a newcomer?

To get a SIM card in Dubai, visit any major telecom retailer like Etisalat or du with your passport and a residency visa. The cost typically ranges from AED 50 to AED 150, depending on the plan you choose. As someone who settled in Dubai last year, I recommend the prepaid options for flexibility. Pro tip: Consider getting a tourist SIM if you’re just here for a short stay, as they can offer good rates without long-term commitments.
