The UAE has an efficient telecommunications system. The state telecommunications monopoly is Etisalat, recognizable by the giant, sparkling golf ball on top of its Headquarter building on the corner of Baniyas and Omar bin al-Khattab roads. It is open 24 hours a day.
If you need to make a call from the airport, there are telephones at the far end of the baggage claim area where local calls (i.e. within Dubai) can be made free of charge. Some of the lounges at the gates in the departures area also make free local calls. Coin phones have almost completely taken over by card phones. Phone cards are available in denominations of Dhs30.00 from grocery stores, supermarkets, petrol stations and street vendors.
To phone out from the UAE, dial 00 followed by the country code. If you want to call the UAE, the country code 971. The area code for Dubai is 04 and mobile phones 50, though if you are calling from outside the UAE you just dial 4. The following is a list of area codes in the UAE.
