Hi @KT1001 UAE is one of the countries covered by the Passport Plus so it will be £2 per 24 hours use of your home allowance.

One of very few outside Europe: note that £2 roaming is not available in any neighbouring country (Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia) so be very careful which network your phone connects to, as you really don't want to inadvertently use data at 'rest of the world' rates over a border: 36 pence per megabyte for Qatar (probably out of range anyway) and an eyewatering £2.16 per megabyte from either Oman or Saudi.
