Are you a backpacker attracted by Dubai? Are you worried that it will break your budget?

Dubai can be cheap and done on budget too! You just have to think outside of the box. Limit the fancy attractions that are listed on tour agency website, plan yourself.

Visit Burj Khalifa on sunrise. You will see Dubai in the night, during sunrise and in daylight. While enjoying complimentary breakfast. At the top observation deck + breakfast is only 35 Eur each. Not bad.

Skip shopping in Dubai mall and grab a lunch in Old Dubai. Take a boat over Dubai creek for just 2(sometimes 1) AED and enjoy the traditional vibe of Dubai old town. Local restaurants are very affordable here, so do the markets.
