Few people believe that it is possible to have a rest in Dubai for the same amount as in Sochi. How to do it? Here are some life hacks about budget vacations in the UAE.
1. Public transport only
In the Emirates, you can forget about taxis and tourist buses, leaving these options for the rich. And it's better to get around by public transport - metro, trams, buses and even boats are available here. Upon arrival, it is worth downloading applications for easy movement around the city and making convenient routes.
2. Eat where the locals eat
Places for tourists have an undeservedly high price tag. And where the locals eat, national dishes, low prices and free tables will be available.
It is also worth paying attention to the shawarma ones that are native to the inhabitants of Russian megalopolises! Shawarma is very popular in the UAE: a hearty meat dish is sold here just as cheaply. It will not be superfluous to take the opportunity to book a hotel with breakfast included and look into the supermarkets. There it is really cheap to find ordinary products for simple dishes.
3. Do not come during the high season
Tourists travel to the United Arab Emirates in autumn and spring. At this time, the weather is as comfortable as possible - there is no heat or cold. And of course then there will be the highest prices for plane, hotels and excursions.
You have to go to the UAE in winter! Yes, swimming without a break will be very difficult, but going shopping and seeing the sights is just perfect. It is better to forget about summer vacations in the Emirates: the fierce heat will discourage all the desire to relax and enjoy the vacation
4. Couchsurfing
To be in the Emirates for a week and never pay for housing? Easy! Experienced travelers are advised to look for apartments in couchsurfing.com. This is the site where you can find free lodging with locals. A great opportunity to meet foreigners and not spend a single ruble for a hotel.
5. Book in advance
