Tips to Save Money
Choose happy hour for the booze – Happy hours are life for a drinker as it is the time when you can save some bucks. Dubai has no lack of happy hours and you can also find drink specials. It is because drinking is costly if you go outside the happy hours and brunches (i.e. $15 USD for wine and $10 USD for beers).
Take metro – Though the metro routes just take you to the middle of the city, it also goes to the airport, marina, and Old Dubai. By paying just AED 8 ($2 USD), it is a lot cheaper than the taxi. If you need to choose a public transport other than the metro, you may take taxi from the metro station near by your destination. It can save up to AED 30 ($8 USD) and precious time for you. A lot of taxis cost AED 60 ($11 to $16) to go anywhere in the town.
Prefer to dine in Old Dubai – Skip the malls, expensive hotels, and fancy soaks where you get the feel of being in Aladdin and head to Old Dubai to save more. In this area, meals at restaurants cost generally AED 20 to 30 ($5 to $8).
Groupon – There are lots of discounts available in Dubai, such as deals on website, and 2-for-1 specials. There are high odds that you can find discount if you want to do something.
Buy The Entertainer – A magazine named “The Entertainer” is available in different countries. It offers specials and discounts on hotels, restaurants, and rides. You can also buy one for the UAE. It offers discounts on restaurants, attractions, clubs, drinks, hotels, and theme parks along with 2-for-1 specials. When you arrive in Dubai, you can also pick a copy at bookstores and supermarkets, or even buy an online copy in their official website (AED 445 or $121 USD). You can also buy a hard copy for AED 495 but it can pay for itself quickly.
