54 GB Free Data Celebrates UAE's National Day

54 GB Free Mobile Data to Mark UAE's Eid Al Etihad

The 54th National Day of the United Arab Emirates, Eid Al Etihad, is not just a celebration of a historical moment, but also offers numerous discounts and gifts for the public—especially in the telecommunications sector. Continuing a long-standing tradition, the country’s leading service provider, e&, surprised its customers with a special gift package this year as well. The most notable announcement is the offer of 54 GB of free domestic data for all its customers between December 1 and 7. This offer is not only a gesture but a celebration of the country's digital prosperity and development.

Why is this offer special?

E& (formerly Etisalat), the UAE's largest telecom provider, places great emphasis on customer experience and the proper celebration of national holidays. On the occasion of Eid Al Etihad, every Emirati citizen, as well as every postpaid customer, i.e., monthly subscribers, will automatically receive the 54 GB data bundle. This is particularly useful during the holiday season when keeping in touch, video calls, social media usage, and streaming services increase.

Details of the discounts

Wasel package offers

Customers of the Wasel prepaid packages can avail up to 50% discounts under certain conditions. Additionally, they can receive up to 3 GB of free data per month for six months, which can signify substantial savings for those who regularly use their mobile phones for internet.

Emirati family package

The offers tailored for Emirati families further expand the options. Free GCC roaming is available, meaning mobile internet can be used in the Persian Gulf countries without charge. An additional advantage is that up to 9 different phone numbers can be added to the family package for just 100 dirhams per subscription per month. Furthermore, a golden number is provided with the subscription if the user signs a 24-month contract.

New GCC roaming packages

The holiday season often involves travel, making the new GCC roaming packages handy. The 3-day package offers 5 GB of data and 20 minutes of call time for 100 dirhams, while the 10-day version provides 15 GB of data and 50 minutes of calls for 200 dirhams. This is particularly beneficial for those spending the holidays in neighboring countries and wanting to avoid separate roaming charges.

Roam Like Home weekly package

Under the “Roam Like Home” concept, the provider offers up to 25 GB of roaming data for 7 days at 100 dirhams, which can be used almost as full domestic data in other GCC countries. This opportunity is especially attractive for those who regularly commute between the UAE and other Arab countries.

The offers of the other major provider, du

Besides e&, the second-largest telecommunication provider, du, also announced special offers in honor of Eid Al Etihad. Although specific discounts were not publicly detailed, it is certain that they provide various holiday promotions and discounts to their customers. The competitive environment benefits the market because the rivalry between the two major providers serves the users' interests, offering better packages and prices.

Why are such initiatives important?

The digital infrastructure and citizen connectivity of the United Arab Emirates have seen rapid development over the past decade. Mobile data traffic has become a fundamental necessity, not just an essential communication tool but a key element in work, education, administration, and entertainment. A festive gesture like providing 54 GB of data is not only symbolic but represents genuine economic and social value.

Furthermore, such campaigns encourage users to be more digitally active, try out new packages, and make greater use of digital services. It’s also significant that free data and roaming packages can support business connections and the familial communication of residents working abroad.

Summary

In this year’s Eid Al Etihad celebration, e&’s offering of 54 GB of free data and various package deals exemplify how a provider can simultaneously represent national values and offer tangible benefits to customers. Be it domestic data traffic, family packages, or foreign roaming discounts, the goal is clear: to connect people—no matter the distance.

For those in the UAE during the mentioned period, it is worth utilizing these offers as they not only mean savings but also enrich and make the holiday season more meaningful and fulfilling.
