Tips for Exploring Dubai on a Strict Budget

It is well-known fact that traveling not only relaxes our brain but also our souls. A trip doesn’t matter local or international delights and refreshes an individual. However, neither you nor we can deny the fact that when it comes to going international, the first factor that hinders all our plans is the ‘budget’ estimation. In many situations, our budget exceeds our limit and finally we end up dropping our dreams and plans as well!

Well, if budget is bothering your next international trips, then think again as there is a myriad list of worldwide destinations that can easily fit into your wallet. And if this sounds unbelievable, check out the tips for exploring Dubai on a budget that will match your local holiday spending.

1.    Public transport in Dubai

If you want to roam the entire city of Dubai on a budget you will need to use city metro. Don’t panic - it is very easy to handle and it is sophisticated and well organized. The best thing is that the public transportation in Dubai is super cheap. If you want to go somewhere where the metro line is not operating, your best choice is to take a cab. Well, always make sure the meter is on and avoid rush hours!

2. Stay in the Al Barsha

Dubai Hotels do not come for a cheap price. However, if you want to save your hard earned bucks, try finding accommodation in the Al Barsha neighborhood. If you're traveling as a family or with a team of friends, it may be more cost effective to stay in a private apartment.

3. Go to Ladies Night

The solo women travelers or girls are lucky enough because Dubai's best bars and restaurants offer free wine on every Tuesday evening. You can enjoy free drinks in places such Boudoir, Double Decker, The Westin, Carters, Longs Bar and Rock Bottom.

4. Spend Time at the Beach

Spending time on the beach is free. Well, almost! There are small beach access fees for some of the Dubai’s best beaches but once you enter, you will have full utilization of the facilities and drinks, refreshments and ice cream, which are more affordable than on the high street.

5. Discover Different Neighborhoods

There are a few places which are mainly concentrated at budget travelers so don't always beeline for the popular tourist destinations. Hang out in neighborhoods such as Karama, Satwa or Bur Dubai and you'll find some cheerful and cheap places to eat or shop.

6. Eat Budget Indian food

Some of the best value restaurants are Indian or Pakistani, so if you love South Asian cuisine such as rice, curries, and naan, then you're in luck! You'll find some amazing and authentic places to eat that are surprisingly cheap in Dubai.

7. Shop at Karama Centre
