Tourists visiting the UAE now have more reasons to sightsee around the Emirates, with du’s enhanced Tourist Sim.

Current stats show that 7.26 million international guests have visited the UAE in 2017 alone. Visitors can now experience great value communication rates from du and additional benefits to stay connected, whilst really getting the most out of their time in the UAE.
From August 1, tourists can enjoy 20 per cent off four Uber rides, access to special prices on the UAE’s top attractions through the exclusive du Entertainer Go App, 50 per cent off on Dollar car rentals and 30 per cent off their speciality range of vehicles. For just Dh55 ($14.9), staying connected with friends and family back home has never been easier than with 20 flexible minutes call time, 200 MB data and 20 flexible SMSs.

“At du, bringing the UAE to life for tourists is important to us, and is one of the main Economic areas that the UAE is focusing on in order to diversify the economy and fulfil the Tourism 2020 Strategy. By 2020, 22 million tourists are expected to visit the UAE. We wanted to focus on providing exclusive benefits and added value to tourists through our Tourist Sim. Now visitors can engage and enjoy many of the sights and sounds of the UAE and really get to know our wonderful country and culture,” said Fahad Al Hassawi, chief commercial officer, du.  

"Du and Uber share the same vision when it comes to convenience and reliability, and this partnership allows us to work together to help make the visitor experience to Dubai as seamless as possible. We are excited to be providing tourists with affordable rides, through the Uber technology, as part of du's enhanced Tourist Sim programme," said Christopher Free, Uber UAE general manager.

“It is a great honour for us to partner with such an influential company as du. We continue to look forward to offering tourists in the UAE great deals on our range of standard and speciality vehicles, so that they can drive around the UAE in style and comfort,” said Marwan Al Mulla, general manager, Dollar UAE.

“We’re excited to collaborate with du again to bring their users unbeatable value with the du Entertainer Go App. Along with a great selection of dining offers, du tourist SIM users will also have access to the App’s travel planning feature, a city guidebook and an in-app attraction booking service, with access to 450 attractions in the UAE, all available to book immediately,” said Robert Meza, head of Travel, the Entertainer.
