One of the world’s most luxurious travel destinations, Dubai is considered a haven for the rich and famous. Contrary to popular opinion, there are several ways for travelers to enjoy the glitz and glamour of Dubai within their budget. 

Want to know how?  Here are some steps you need to follow for planning cheap holidays to Dubai:

Shopping

Dubai is famous for its glittering shopping malls with high-end brands.  Besides being home to the world’s largest shopping mall i.e. The Dubai Mall, Dubai has many traditional markets known as “souks.” From  jewelry to gadgets, you can find anything and everything here at economical prices. And unlike shopping malls, you can easily bargain here to get the best priced products.

Food

Most of the top hotels in Dubai offer meal deals. In addition, check out open buffet or Friday buffet offers that are not pricey.

Metro

Dubai Metro and public transport buses are the most affordable and convenient transport options.  Keep in mind though that waiting for a bus can be excruciating in hot summer months. Still, buses and metro are much more cost-effective than renting a car or travelling around in a taxi.

Jumeirah Mosque

Dubai’s largest mosque, Jumeirah Mosque is one of the main attractions of Dubai. You can visit the mosque daily except Fridays. In addition, tours (lasting 75 minutes) take place at 10am for free. Visitors can ask any questions they want about the Emirati culture and Islam during these tours. 

Jumeirah Beach

There is more to Dubai than just shopping malls. Jumeirah Beach is a public park with a beach. You can spend a day at any of the hotels on the beach with a day voucher. These vouchers are offered by different hotels, and provide visitors access to their health clubs, spas, pools and more. Public beaches, on the other hand, provide play area for children and facilities such as life guards.

Al Safa Park

Created in 1975, Safa Park is an urban park situated on the outskirts of Dubai.  The enormous park contains three lakes, over 200 species of birds, and 16,924 different trees and bushes. The lush green park has a tiny forest, a hill and a waterfall flowing out of the hill. Its entrance fee is 3 dirham. The park also hosts a flea market every week.

Perhaps, the best time to travel to Dubai is in winters (September to  February). Apart from the pleasant weather conditions, several events take place in this season, starting with the Dubai Shopping Festival in January-February.
