FaceTime blocked in UAE

I’d like to purchase an iPhone SE second generation from Dubai and use it in Egypt. Will there be any problem using FaceTime or any of the apps? I heard it’s blocked in Dubai and uninstalled on the phone, but what if I’m going to use it in a different country?

FaceTime will become available if it's running 13.6 or newer and the country in Settings is changed to one other than the United Arab Emirates.


Note that you'll likely be denied warranty service on it outside the country of origin.
