      Network Usage Tips

      ⚠️
      Desert tourism area

      In the heart of the desert (such as Liwa Desert), the signal may weaken, so it is recommended to download offline maps in advance. Etisalat's network coverage extends to almost the entire country, including remote areas.

      ⚠️
      Regional Operator Handover

      In some areas (such as Sharjah), manual switching to Etisalat (e&) may be required for better signal.

      ⚠️
      indoor high-density areas

      In large shopping malls and high-rise hotels, the signal is better near window areas, while basement areas may require locating signal boosters.

      Price Evaluation

      The UAE has extensive and stable network coverage, reaching 99% of the densely populated areas. However, the tariffs are relatively high, so it is advisable to choose a suitable plan based on the duration of your trip and data usage. For group travel, consider shared plans to improve cost-effectiveness. Etisalat, as the largest operator, offers comprehensive network coverage and high-speed connectivity.
