In This Article:

Blog Introduction:

Are you dreaming of a grand adventure in the United Arab Emirates? Then you’ve come to the right place!

Many people think that travelling to Dubai has to be expensive, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. With careful budgeting and smart travel decisions, you can experience the best of what this amazing city has to offer without breaking the bank.

Let’s explore how much it costs to go to Dubai and how you can save money on your trip.

Blog Body:

Accommodations

Accommodations are usually one of the biggest expenses when traveling. Fortunately, there are plenty of affordable options in Dubai, ranging from budget-friendly hostels and Airbnbs to mid-range hotels and resorts.

It all depends on what kind of experience you’re looking for and how much you’re willing to spend.

Generally speaking, hotel prices start around $50/night for a basic room in a hostel or hotel, while luxury resorts can cost upwards of $500/night.

Food & Drink

The good news is that food is relatively inexpensive in Dubai—you can get an excellent meal at a restaurant for around $10-15 per person (not including drinks).

If you want to save even more money, there are plenty of street food options available at very reasonable prices.

Just make sure that any street food vendor is certified by the municipality before purchasing anything!

As far as drinks go, alcohol is quite expensive in Dubai due to high taxes; expect prices similar to those found in most Western countries ($6-$10 per drink).

Activities & Sightseeing

There are so many activities available in Dubai—from traditional souks (markets) and deserts safaris to more modern attractions like indoor skydiving and tourist ferries.

The cost will depend on which activities you choose; some experiences such as desert safaris or hot air balloon rides may require an upfront payment of several hundred dollars, while others have more modest entry fees (think $20-$50).

Websites such as Visit Dubai and 7 Continents 1Passport has some great resources available if you’re looking for ideas on things to do in Dubai during your stay.

Conclusion:

Traveling does not have to be expensive—especially if your destination is Dubai!

By carefully planning your accommodations, meals, and activities ahead of time, you can create an amazing vacation experience without breaking the bank.

So, pack your bags—it’s time for an adventure! With smart budgeting decisions, we hope that this guide helps make your trip even more enjoyable (and affordable!) than ever before!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
