Dubai

Judge me if you must, but for travellers like me who feed their wanderlust whenever they can – every penny saved is penny earned. I like to travel whenever I can afford it and work actively towards making it happen often. Dubai has been on my mind for quite some time now. With skyscrapers, heritage villages, exotic souks, opulent shopping malls and desert safaris, there is no reason to stay away. Upon checking online, I discovered that there are many hotels in Dubai which are budget-friendly. Thereafter, there was no looking back. I was committed to visiting Dubai.

Reaching Dubai is not difficult either from Ahmedabad, from where I hail. Find best deal for Ahmedabad to Dubai flights and you are halfway there! The best deals on Dubai flights are available if you book them ahead of time. Do that and look for accommodations in Dubai which do not break the bank. Here’s a list of some of the places I looked at:

EasyHotel Jebel Ali

This hotel is close to the Ibn Battuta Mall. Google Maps showed me that it is at a walking distance from the Jebel Ali Metro Station. That, I liked. It would mean that I would be able to get around the city easily. There is a restaurant on-site and a 24-hour Front Desk. The rooms are also fairly decent, fitted with tiled floors. With a safe-deposit box, wardrobe and flat-screen TV in the room, the basics are covered. Some of the rooms also offered a view of the city. Ask for them when you check-in. They are yours if they are available.
