Are you the type of person that loves the candid selfie? Or like anyone else needs something to pass the time when on a long and seemingly never-ending metro journey? Well, looks like you can shut off the data pack (in certain places) for the next 7 days.
With today marking official World WiFi day, Wifi UAE is offering hotspot users complimentary WiFi starting today all through Edi Al Fitr, in over 400 locations including the Dubai Metro and Tram (yes!!!), Emaar Boulevard Downtown Dubai, various malls across the UAE i.e. The Dubai Mall, Wafi Mall, and Al Ain Mall to name a few.
Yup, you heard that right, and here’s the best bit; speeds will be 10 times faster during this period. I know, I’m never going home.
In a statement about the generous initiative from WiFi UAE, Jihad Tayara, Vice President of Business Development and Partnerships, du said:
”In support of the Year of Giving and the Smart City initiative we are pleased to announce that we will be continuing to spread happiness to people across the UAE, as part of World WiFi and Eid celebrations. People in the UAE will be able to enjoy innovation and connectivity through complimentary higher-speed WiFi, where they will be able to connect and share online with their loved ones. This is another great stepping stone in our quest to support the UAE government in achieving country-wide WiFi access in line with the nation’s vision 2021.”
