Holidays To Dubai Don’t Have To Break The Bank
Although seven star hotels and excessive opulence are normal in Dubai, holidaymakers can still experience the city without busting the banking. Lots of hotels in Dubai have special offer packages and deals to make holidays to Dubai affordable on almost any kind of budget.
Where to Eat
Why not take a wander down the delightful, palm-tree lined, Al Dhiyafah Road where outdoor cafes offer mezze as a light bite option. A local favourite is Sidra with its wholesome salads, seafood and grilled meats all at attractive prices. Other favourites include Pars Iranian Kitchen and the Ravi Restaurant curry house. And for the curry connoisseur there are more than 21 curry houses available at World Trade Centre Road.
What to Do
Pass up the gaudy, generic shopping malls and take in an authentic Dubai bargain bazaar for pretty much anything you might want. Visit Karama, one Dubai’s discount districts for cheap “designer” goods and a selection of local products from Persian rugs, hand-made suits and handcrafted jewellery. Haggling is expected in the bazaar—so you can score some great deals.
Holidays to Dubai afford numerous opportunities to enjoy ample sunshine—from beach clubs at Dubai hotels to pristine public parks and squares. If your hotel doesn’t provide access to a beach, then have a trip to the family-friendly and centrally located Mamzar Beach Park. As an alternative, Creekside Park by the river makes a very pleasant picnic spot and rents pedal carts.
If you want to enjoy the Dubai nightlife, try some local dives. Enjoy a shisha pipe at the Hakaya Café with its impromptu concerts or The Rush Inn Hotel with its Congolese band. Later on go for some dancing at Deira’s inexpensive Blues and Cues hotspot, where the house band knocks out rock and Latino favourites.
Where to Stay
Inexpensive hotels mean visitors can enjoy luxurious Dubai holidays for surprisingly little money. Located near the Trade Centre, The Panorama Bur Dubai hotel and The Claridge hotel offer spacious and comfortable accommodation for the price conscious visitor. The London Creek Apartments, with its large rooftop swimming pool, provide self catering one bed and studio apartments.
