Insider tips
- — Hotel/café Wi‑Fi can be slow or unsecured — keep your eSIM data on for safer, more consistent access.
- — Use your data for flight status, intercity buses and trains (where available), local metro maps, and ride‑hailing pickup points.
- — Summer heat can be extreme in Gulf countries; carry water and use offline maps for desert drives. During Ramadan, some services adjust hours — mobile data keeps you self‑sufficient for navigation and food delivery.
