A weekly “As-salamu alaikum” to family in Yemen shouldn't mean watching a balance or buying another add-on pack. We set out the Etisalat (e&) plans that give unlimited calls to Yemen over the full network — flat-rate, bundled with data and a free VIP number, delivered the same day across the UAE.
The best Etisalat plan for calling Yemen from the UAE is the Etisalat Unlimited 1 Country plan at AED 325/month — unlimited calls to Yemen, plus 30GB data, 300 local minutes and a free Silver VIP number. If you also make plenty of local UAE calls, the Unlimited Calls 600 Flexi (AED 360/month) gives unlimited flexi minutes that work both ways.
The Yemeni community is a close community in the UAE, with roots across Sana'a, Aden and Taiz. For most, staying close to home means a call several times a week — and a spike every Eid. Yemen is 1 hour behind the UAE, so an evening call lands at a sensible hour, and a flat unlimited plan means you never cut it short to save credit.
The honest answer for calling Yemen is one plan: the Unlimited 1 Country plan at AED 325/month. It gives unlimited calls to Yemen — landlines and mobiles nationwide — over Etisalat's full network, so the line stays clear even where Wi-Fi is weak, and you never buy another add-on. It also includes 30GB of data and 300 local minutes. If you also make a lot of local UAE calls, the Unlimited Calls 600 Flexi (AED 360/month) fits better — its unlimited flexi minutes work both locally and internationally from one allowance. Every plan here includes a free VIP number and same-day SIM delivery across the UAE.

Yes — you choose Yemen as your country, and all your calls there become unlimited for a flat monthly price, covering numbers nationwide across Sana'a, Aden and Taiz and beyond.
For regular callers, usually yes. App calls drop on weak Wi-Fi and add-on packs run out; the Unlimited 1 Country plan is a flat AED 325/month with full network call quality and no per-minute charge.
Yemen is 1 hour behind the UAE, so an evening call from the UAE generally reaches family at a comfortable hour.
