Dubai is well-known for its beautiful hotels, incredible fountains, the most distinctive automobiles for rent, amazing entertainment, and other opulent features. Dubai is luxurious, and luxury is costly. As a result, many people are afraid to visit this city because they assume they would have to spend a lot. In truth, this is not the case, and if you follow the advice provided in this article, you will be able to relax in Dubai at a reasonable price.
Choose not the most popular season
Summer temperatures in Dubai may reach 60 degrees Celsius, making it tough to be outside, especially for the elderly and children. As a result, the most costly months to fly to Dubai for vacation are November through April. During these months, the temperature rarely goes over 35 degrees, making it ideal for relaxing. So, if you want to save on a ticket, then fly either in the summer or in the winter months. In winter, you do not have to hide from the suffocating heat: the temperature in January-February is slightly above 20 degrees. Also, due to the small number of tourists, stores arrange big sales and discounts for many services and entertainment. For example, a popular type of entertainment such as buggy tours in November-April costs about 250 euros, and in months less popular with tourists, you can ride a rented car through the desert, saving at least 50 euros.
Rent a car to get around the city
There are many gorgeous spots and attractions in Dubai that you must see for yourself. You may also go by taxi, however, it is costly and the wait time for a car to be serviced is lengthy. A hired automobile provides you with:
- Unlimited time of using rented car;
- Mileage depends only on the financial capabilities of the tenant and his needs;
- The ability to choose a car of any class – economy, business, minivan, or you can also rent racing cars Dubai if you want to feel what speed and drive are;
- No need to worry about machine downtime, having to return to the same place multiple times and many other benefits.
And the prices for car rental will pleasantly surprise you and help you save money compared to taxi rides.
Book and pay for entertainment in advance
Many excursion and tour operators provide discounts on their services when paid online. For example, if you book a car for hire online for an extended period of time, you will almost probably be granted a significant discount. However, to avoid an uncomfortable circumstance, research the contractor from whom you are planning to buy a vehicle rental or any other service on the Internet ahead of time.
Buy groceries in supermarkets and try street food
Dubai is known for its numerous restaurants that will captivate even the most sophisticated gourmet. In 2023, the Michelin Guide unveiled a Dubai gastronomy guide featuring 90 restaurants. This already says a lot. But if your budget is limited, then you should not dine in them every day. An excellent alternative would be street food, which is also at the highest level in Dubai. Taste local falafel and kebabs and be sure to visit modest cafes with national cuisine. The prices there are lower than in popular restaurants, and the food is excellent. An alternative to restaurants can also be homemade food that you cook yourself. If you plan to cook your own food, shop in supermarkets, not markets. It’s cheaper there, and the quality of the food is sometimes much better.
Download free tour guides
Of course, you can just look at the sights, but you want to know their history of creation, interesting facts and so on. Buying excursions on the spot is not the best option, they usually cost more. You can go on a sightseeing tour on a tourist bus, but you will not feel the taste of freedom, since the bus will move strictly according to the schedule and you will not have the opportunity to enjoy the place you like as much as you want. You can save a lot if you download city guides on the Internet in advance, get into a rented car and go on an adventure.
