WHAT TO KNOW
Understand what to expect when calling between Kenya and the United Arab Emirates.
Kenya (EAT, UTC+3) and UAE (GST, UTC+4) are only 1 hour apart year-round, making coordination easier than many international routes. Plan calls during shared business or personal hours.
Always dial the full international number: +971 followed by the area code and number. Sayfone handles formatting, but double-check before calling.
Call quality depends on your local internet connection in Kenya and the recipient's network in the UAE. Stable WiFi or mobile data ensures the best experience.
At 8¢ per minute, a 30-minute call costs $2.40. Budget accordingly, especially for longer catch-ups or business meetings.
