The NB-IoT Bands selected for the Middle East Region are B8 (900 MHz) and B20 (800 MHz). Narrow Band IoT is a low power wide area (LPWA) technology developed specifically for IoT devices and services. 3GPP has assigned different frequency bands in different regions for this cellular IoT standard.

NB-IoT Band
Uplink Band
Downlink Band
Bandwidth
Duplex Mode
B8880 - 915 MHz
925 - 960 MHz
25 MHz
HD-FDD
B20
832 - 862 MHz
791 - 821 MHz
30 MHz
HD-FDD

This is based on input received by the NB-IoT Forum members and this document from GSMA.
