“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. We wanted to focus on providing exclusive benefits and added value to tourists through our Tourist SIM.
