Look for “Add eSIM” in Settings → Network & internet → SIMs: if it is there, your OnePlus 13 has eSIM.
If your phone has no eSIM
No eSIM option, no travel eSIM: don’t buy one. Your options abroad are your operator’s roaming pack, a local SIM card bought on arrival, or a pocket Wi-Fi: compare roaming packs and eSIM prices in AED.

One eSIM alongside a physical SIM. OnePlus does not confirm that two eSIMs work at the same time.

Yes: the OnePlus 13 takes a physical SIM and an eSIM at the same time, so your UAE number stays on the SIM and the travel eSIM handles data.
