Travel and international health insurance plans tailored for UAE residents, expatriates and visitors. AL SAHRAA helps you compare cover limits, emergency evacuation, COVID-19 testing policies and routine care options so you can travel confidently.
Overview
AL SAHRAA offers international and travel health insurance designed for short trips, extended stays and relocation to or from the UAE. We focus on plans that cover emergency medical care, hospitalisation, medical evacuation and repatriation, with options for routine care and COVID-19 related expenses where available. Our advisers assess your travel duration, destination risks, age and pre-existing conditions to recommend plans that balance coverage and cost. We work with multiple international underwriters to present options that meet visa requirements and provide direct-billing networks when possible. Onboarding is straightforward: choose a plan, submit documents and receive a digital policy. We guide you through policy terms, exclusions and claims procedures so you know how to act during an emergency abroad. Whether you need single-trip, multi-trip or long-stay international health insurance, we provide clear comparisons, renewal reminders and local support in Dubai, Ajman and other UAE emirates to keep your healthcare access uninterrupted while travelling.

Frequently asked questions
Does travel health insurance cover COVID-19 treatment and testing?
Coverage for COVID-19 varies by plan and insurer. Some international plans include emergency treatment and testing while others exclude pandemic-related costs; we will identify plans that explicitly cover COVID-19 if required.
Can I get coverage for pre-existing conditions?
Pre-existing condition coverage depends on the insurer, condition type and waiting periods. Disclose all medical history during application so we can find suitable options or explain any exclusions.
How quickly does coverage start after purchase?
Start dates depend on the chosen plan—some policies begin immediately after payment, others have a waiting period. We will confirm effective dates during quotation.
Will this policy meet visa requirements for travel to other countries?
Many international travel policies meet common visa medical insurance requirements; we will verify specific embassy or consulate requirements and recommend compliant plans.
How do I make an emergency claim while abroad?
Policies include 24/7 emergency contact numbers and instructions. Call the insurer’s emergency line first, follow their referral process, and submit supporting documents to us for assistance with the claims follow-up.
