class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Although it may sound strange, getting to the United Arab Emirates doesn't have to be expensive. In fact, if you're traveling through Europe, you can fly at a great price thanks to low-cost airlines like Wizz Air, which offers direct flights to Abu Dhabi from several European cities, such as Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices vary depending on the season, but if you book early (or take advantage of a good deal), you can get round-trip tickets for less than $200. Yes, you read that right. Of course, like any low-cost airline, you'll have to adjust to the included luggage and add extras if you want more comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to look for flights with long layovers or creative combinations from cities like Istanbul, Cairo, or even Tbilisi, which often have lower fares to the Gulf. The important thing is to compare and be flexible with your dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hospedarse_barato_en_Emiratos\"><\/span>Cheap accommodation in the Emirates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Although the United Arab Emirates is known for its luxury hotels and skyscrapers with infinity pools, there are also more affordable options for those traveling on a budget. <strong>Budget accommodations can be found in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi,<\/strong> especially if you don't mind sharing a room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In <strong>Dubai<\/strong>, most of the <strong>cheap accommodations<\/strong> are located in areas like Bur Dubai or Deira, which are also well connected by metro. There are options with shared kitchens, lockers, and even terraces with great views, for prices starting at <strong>10-15 USD per night<\/strong> in a dorm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Although as I already explained in detail in the Dubai post, <a href=\"https:\/\/tidd.ly\/3FQYE8H\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cheap capsule hotels<\/a> are usually rubbish, but by stretching your budget a little further, between 20-30 USD per night, it is also possible to find something more decent in a much nicer area like <a href=\"https:\/\/tidd.ly\/43BpSJE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dubai Marina<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capsule-hostel-dubai.webp\" alt=\"Hostel Capsula de Dubai\" class=\"wp-image-15800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capsule-hostel-dubai.webp 750w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capsule-hostel-dubai-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/capsule-hostel-dubai-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Capsule Hostel Dubai, the photo does not represent reality<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In <strong>Abu Dhabi<\/strong>, the options are more limited, but there are some hostels and guesthouses, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/tidd.ly\/4kyidBH\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Villa Hostel \u2013 By Lunar<\/a>, which are aimed at backpackers or temporary workers. Don't expect boutique hotel design, but if you search on sites like Hostelworld or Booking.com, you can find beds for around <strong>15-20 USD per night<\/strong>, which is quite reasonable for the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: Book well in advance, especially during peak season, and always check the location to avoid overspending on transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-dots margin-separator-custom\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1199\" height=\"92\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/banner-divisorio-emiratos.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/banner-divisorio-emiratos.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/banner-divisorio-emiratos-600x46.jpg 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/banner-divisorio-emiratos-18x1.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-dots margin-separator-custom\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Moverse_barato_buses_en_Abu_Dhabi_y_metro_en_Dubai\"><\/span>Getting around cheaply: buses in Abu Dhabi and the Dubai metro<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">One of the best ways to save money in the Emirates is to <strong>use public transportation<\/strong>, which is modern, safe, and quite affordable compared to taxis or private transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In <strong>Abu Dhabi, although there is no metro, the city bus network covers almost the entire city and is very useful for traveling between tourist spots<\/strong> like the Grand Mosque, the Corniche, or the city center. The service works well, the vehicles are air-conditioned, and the fare is around AED 2 (about USD 0.50). To use them, <strong>you need a Hafilat Card, which you can obtain and top up at bus stations or authorized kiosks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"491\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai12-491x800.jpg\" alt=\"Monorriel en Dubai\" class=\"wp-image-15693\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai12-491x800.jpg 491w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai12-246x400.jpg 246w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai12-7x12.jpg 7w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai12.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Monorail in Dubai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>In Dubai, the most convenient option is the metro, <\/strong>which connects the airport, downtown, shopping areas, and many key destinations. It's fast, efficient, and affordable: prices vary depending on the distance, but a short trip can cost as little as 3 AED (less than 1 USD). <strong>To get around, you'll need the Nol Card, which also works for buses, trams, and even some water taxis.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile caja-custom\" style=\"grid-template-columns:30% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/guia-para-viajar-a-emiratos-arabes-unidos\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai32-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"Vista a Marina Bay en Dubai\" class=\"wp-image-15697 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai32-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai32-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai32-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai32-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai32-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/blog_dubai32.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/en\/guia-para-viajar-a-emiratos-arabes-unidos\/\">If you want to know more information about the United Arab Emirates, you can read the guide I wrote to discover this destination.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comer_barato_en_Emiratos_opciones_locales_indias_y_supermercados\"><\/span>Eating on the cheap in the Emirates: local, Indian, and supermarket options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating out in the Emirates doesn't have to be expensive, although tourist restaurants or those in luxury hotels might make you think otherwise. If you look hard enough, there are plenty of delicious and affordable options, especially in neighborhoods with a presence of immigrants from the Indian subcontinent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">In Dubai and Abu Dhabi,  <strong>you'll find small Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi restaurants where you can get a hearty meal for less than 15 AED (about 4 USD). <\/strong> Shawarmas, biryanis, curries, parathas, and full thalis are all bargains. The best part is that the food is homemade, hearty, and full of flavor. Look in areas like Deira or Bur Dubai in Dubai, or near Hamdan Street in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Another very practical option is to stop by supermarkets like <strong>Carrefour, Lulu, or Spinneys<\/strong>, which usually have sections with ready-made meals: rice, salads, roast chicken, samosas, and even combos with drinks. Perfect if you want to save money or take something back to your accommodation. You can also buy bread, hummus, fruit, yogurt, and snacks to put together a picnic or a light dinner for less than 10 AED.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2-600x400.png\" alt=\"Ensaladas dentro de Carrefour de Dubai\" class=\"wp-image-15879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-2.png 1181w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Salads inside Carrefour in Dubai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I remember a scene in Dubai that made me laugh because of the contrast. I was sitting on a sidewalk, eating a stuffed rice ball I had bought at Carrefour for a few coins. As I devoured it with gusto, I looked toward the marina where several luxury yachts were passing in front of me, with loud music and people dancing on deck as if it were a scene from a music video. It amused me to think about that stark contrast: on one side, someone traveling on a budget; on the other, floating parties that probably cost as much as my entire month of travel. But there I was, happy with my street rice and the best view of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Avoid restaurants in shopping malls or tourist areas if you want to stay on a budget. Going off the beaten path can save you several dirhams\u2026 and give you a much more local experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-dots margin-separator-custom\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1199\" height=\"92\" src=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/banner-divisorio-emiratos.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16031\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/banner-divisorio-emiratos.jpg 1199w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/banner-divisorio-emiratos-600x46.jpg 600w, https:\/\/elprismadefer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/banner-divisorio-emiratos-18x1.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1199px) 100vw, 1199px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-black-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-black-background-color has-background is-style-dots margin-separator-custom\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Atracciones_gratis_en_Emiratos_mucho_para_ver_sin_pagar\"><\/span>Free attractions in the Emirates: lots to see without paying<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">Traveling to the Emirates on a budget doesn't mean missing out on the best.
