If you have been planning a Dubai holiday and been stumped by such questions from skeptical friends, it’s time to set the record straight. Yes, Dubai offers several refreshing getaways where you can sample the good life at leisure. But there’s an affordable Dubai too, which offers you great budget-friendly holidays with all the interesting experiences included! All you need is to plan prudently and do your homework well.
Pick the right stay
Why stay at costlier hotels near the luxuriant Dubai shoreline when you can always reach the beaches via convenient public transport? A little research will get you an affordable yet excellent stay experience at locations close to Dubai’s main attractions. Here are a few easy tips:
If you want to be a Roman in Rome, take the public transport in Dubai! Dubai Metro has well-connected routes, along with a good bus network and the Dubai Tram. Public transport in Dubai is reliable, clean and efficient. For intrepid explorers and solo travelers, this is a boon.
For those traveling with families, taxis can be a better bet. Get them on the road or pre-book from an app like Uber or the local option, Careem. You can also rent a taxi for a few hours if you have a chalked-out itinerary for the day.
