Noted as a very large and expensive city, Dubai sits on the southeastern coast of the Persian Gulf, which helps to make it a very popular destination for sun and beach lovers. Dubai is also popular for its numerous attractions.
Though Dubai is known for being on the more expensive side compared to similar cities, through the years more budget friendly dining and accommodation options have opened up, helping to make the city a friendlier place for the backpacker group. Another thing that is helping to make a visit to Dubai easy on the wallet is the Go Dubai Pass. This pass, like the others in this series, is designed to save you money on popular area attractions. But does it really save you that much money? We'll find out that and more below.
Updated for 2019, the Africa and Middle East Backpacker Index once again shows that travel is quite inexpensive to many popular cities, but a few in this area are among the most expensive in the world. This region gets far less tourism than most of the rest of the world and that translates to a lack of budget hotels and hostels in many places, which helps keep prices a bit higher.
It's actually not difficult to find “cheap” travel destinations in many corners of the globe. The real trick is to find cheap places that combine low prices with gorgeous scenery, great food, interesting cultures, and/or enough of a tourist infrastructure that makes them easy to visit.
