Dubai is one of the most popular destinations for African travellers — for business, shopping, and holidays. The one thing that catches people out is connectivity: roaming on your home network can cost a fortune, and airport SIM cards mean queues and a new number.
A travel eSIM solves this. You buy a data plan before you fly, scan a QR code, and land in Dubai already connected — while keeping your home number for WhatsApp and calls.
For a typical 5–7 day Dubai trip, a 3GB–5GB plan is plenty for maps, ride-hailing, WhatsApp, and social media. Heavy users streaming video should consider 10GB. All plans are priced in Kenyan Shillings and paid with mobile money or card.
Before buying, dial *#06# on your phone — if you see an EID number, your device supports eSIM. Most iPhones from XS onward and recent Samsung/Pixel phones are compatible.
