Referring to Dubai, we often think of 7 star Hotel, splendid towers, luxurious life and dinners cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. The word “savings” or “pleasant prices” probably quite strange to the place considered as Las Vegas of Arabs. However, visitors can still experience Dubai without spending too much money.

Shopping in off season
Dubai is famous for the largest commercial center in the world with all quality-guaranteed items. If coming in the right time, you can purchase brand-name items at a remunerative price.
This city often has shopping and discounting festivals, like Dubai Summer Surprises from 2/ 8 to 5/ 9. However, tourists should pay attention to their wallets to avoid shopping too much.
Choose less costly destinations
Besides shopping, Dubai is famous for skyscrapers. Visitors can book online tickets to the observation deck at the 124th floor of Burj Khalifa Tower in advance, which only costs 125 AED (about 700,000VND), instead of a direct purchase of the day (400 AED, or 2.4 million VND). Therefore, make a plan before coming here.
