eSIM for Dubai International (DXB) — skip the SIM kiosk on arrival

The line at the SIM kiosk in DXB arrivals is no place to spend your first hour in UAE. A VXERA eSIM activates over WiFi before you board, so the moment your wheels touch down at Dubai International, ride-hailing, Maps, and group chats all work.
