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.

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.

The Tourist Plans are valid for 7, 10, 15, or 30 days.
We support a variety of payment options, including all major credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash (AED) at the airport for your tourist sim card.
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.)
