Travel to Dubai
Landing in Dubai is not a big deal. The good news for US travellers is if you have a US passport you don’t need to get a visa. You can opt for any airlines maybe Ethiad, Emirates or Qatar. Generally if you are lucky enough, the Emirates have an offer called the 2 for 1 Skyscanner airfare deal which allows 2 passengers to travel at the rate of one. Try and grab these offers.
Accommodation & Fooding
Arranging an accommodation in Dubai might take up quite a part of your budget. If you are looking for cheap accommodation options, there are hostels that charge around 125 AED for just a dorm. A private room may cost around 300 AED. But, if you are planning to opt for hotels, you’ll find plenty of them. Mid range hotels cost here around 300 AED and there’s not a definite limit for the luxurious ones. So, choose your accommodation based on your budget. Coming to food, Dubai is famous for multicultural cuisines. So you’ll get anything that you want to eat (other than pork). Expect to pay around 350 AED per person for a full day food at a decent restaurant. One of the best and cheap options would be to order food online through Deliveroo. Don’t forget to search for Deliveroo voucher codes before ordering.
