“The UAE is a tourist hotspot and international business hub. At du, we want to simplify the lives of our visitors by offering them a service that will allow them to stay connected to their friends, family and business associates, with added convenience. We also realise that many of the people who initially come here as tourists find employment and choose to make the UAE their home, which is why we have made it simple to renew their Tourist Plan or switch to du Pay As You Go®.
