How to Enjoy Dubai Without Spending a Lot of Money

One should not spend a fortune to enjoy Dubai. Beyond the shopping spree that you see around, there are a lot of activities to enjoy Dubai in a non expensive way.

Dubai Fountain

1. Three Must See in One Place
Dubai Fountain, Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa

Get mesmerized with the beauty of the dancing Dubai fountain just at the foot of the World's highest man made structure, Burj Khalifa. You get to see not just one, but 2 record holders because after the fountain show, you can visit Dubai Mall and see the Dubai Aquarium which is the Guinness World Record for the ‘World’s Largest Acrylic Panel’. All these for FREE.

2. Jumeirah Beach Park

Jumeirah Beach - view from Burj Al Arab

Picnic at the park and a walk at the beach. Enjoy priceless moments with the family at the park. Playgrounds and barbecue areas are all around. Then, you can hit the beach for a relaxing time to read a book, get tanned or swim to get Dubai's heat off with the view of Burj Al Arab. Entrance is only 5 AED (1 Euro per person).

3. Travel with Dubai Metro
Guinness World Records' longest driverless metro. You might think you are in an airport once you are inside the train stations. Honestly, it's more sophisticated than some international airports I've seen.

4. Window Shopping

Dubai has a lot of malls with different ambience that makes window shopping fun.

5. Hangout at The Walk
The Walk is located Jumeirah. It has a strip of restaurants on the beachfront. You'll see a lot of locals and expats hanging around. Don't forget to take notice of the cars that pass by. It would give you an impression that you're at a car show.

6. Get a Seat on an Abra
You can cross the Dubai Creek with an Abra (Dubai's open air boat taxi) for only 1 AED. You can then visit Dubai's Gold Souk in Deira which is across the creek.

7. Relax at Zabeel Park
