Starlink, the satellite-based internet service developed by SpaceX and owned by Elon Musk, has expanded its global footprint to more than 150 countries and territories, including several nations in the Gulf region.

The company confirmed that its services are now available in the United Arab Emirates, as well as Oman, Yemen, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait.

In the UAE, Starlink offers a range of pricing options for both roaming and residential users, Dubai-based newspaper Khaleej Times said in a report.

Roaming plans start at Dh190 per month for 100GB of data, while an unlimited roaming package is priced at Dh370 monthly.

For home users, the company provides two main packages: the “Residential Lite” plan at Dh230 per month with unlimited usage, and a standard residential package offering maximum available speeds for Dh300 per month.

Customers are also required to purchase hardware costing Dh1,099.

Starlink uses a network of low Earth orbit satellites to deliver high-speed internet, particularly in areas where traditional broadband infrastructure is limited.

Unlike conventional services that rely on underground cables or cellular towers, its satellite constellation enables faster response times and lower latency.

The company says its service supports activities such as video streaming, online gaming and video calls, and claims up to 99.9% uptime along with resilience in adverse weather conditions.

Starlink’s continued expansion highlights the growing demand for satellite-based connectivity solutions worldwide, especially in remote and underserved regions.
