Local SIM in the UAE: passport and visa needed
The UAE government’s visitor guide states that you need to provide a copy of your passport and UAE visa to obtain a local SIM, sold at airport shops run by e& (Visitor Line) and du (Tourist Plan). A travel eSIM needs none of this and keeps your own number active.
