Starlink UAE prices at launch
Starlink’s UAE site listed a one-off hardware cost plus a monthly plan. The residential plan is Dh300 a month with unlimited data. Prices below are those listed when service opened in early September 2026, so confirm them on the order page before you pay.
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Standard hardware kit (dish and Wi-Fi 6 router) | Dh1,465 |
| Residential plan, unlimited data | Dh300 a month |
| Residential Lite plan | Dh230 a month |
| Roaming plan, 100GB cap | Dh190 a month |
| Roaming plan, unlimited | Dh370 a month |
| Deposit (waitlist or checkout) | Dh285.71 to Dh300, credited toward the kit |
The Lite figure comes from a single report, and one analyst noted that the Dh230 price dates from March 2026, when the service was first advertised, so check that Lite is still offered at your address.
How to order
- Enter your address on the official Starlink website. If it shows as at capacity, you can pay the deposit to join the waitlist.
- Buy the kit and choose a plan.
- Install the dish where it has a clear view of the sky. Self-installation may be possible, while professional mounting or cabling costs extra.
Trial, speeds and limits
- Trial: 30 days, and the equipment can be returned for a refund if the service does not suit you.
- Speeds: Starlink advertises 400+ Mbps on its higher tier. Real speeds vary with weather, dish placement and congestion, and can drop at peak hours.
- Calls: WhatsApp voice and video calls, which are restricted in the UAE, do not work over Starlink. The same rules on services and content apply as on any other UAE connection.
