Ten things to do for free (or almost) in Duba

Dubai does not have to destroy your savings, so we leave you a list of things you can do in this Arab Emirate for free or spend very little money.

Free things to do in Dubai

Visit the socks; not everything is in the shopping mall. Dubai preserves traditional markets that have become popular among tourists looking to buy typical products or enjoy its eccentricities.

The two most famous markets are located in the Deira area, the old center of Dubai, and are the gold and spice souks. The first is renowned for its luxuries: it is the place with the most gold in the world per square meter, and its windows are an excellent example of the eccentricities that can be made with this metal. The spice market is more typical, although it sells more and more souvenirs and fewer traditional products. Check out more at Today In Dubai.

Know some world records visiting the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, or the Burj Al Arab, the most luxurious hotel in the shape of a sail, is free. Although yes, in order not to pay, you have to stay outside, since if you decide to go in there, you must prepare to pay in both buildings.

You can get it for 17 euros, and if you use my code BLOGGERIM,

 

Dubai AquariumAlthough several combined tickets are offered to get to know them inside the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, what attracts visitors is its acrylic panel that allows you to see more than 140 species of animals from the Dubai Mall without having to pay.

Dubai FountainsVery much in the style of Las Vegas, Dubai has its system of dancing fountains that have shows during the day and night. These are observed from different points around the artificial lake and are free.

Although the Dubai Mall and all the shopping malls concentrate on the most exclusive and expensive boutiques in the world, visiting the Dubai Mall and getting lost among its more than 10,000 shops and exotic decorations is free. Know more about Bosporus Turkish Restaurant In Dubai.

And like this one, there are other spectacular shopping malls in Dubai, some of which are worth visiting even if it's just to get to know and not buy. Also, these places have free internet!

Enter a mosque are essential to place in the Muslim world, and respecting the schedules and clothing, they can be visited for free. It is necessary to research the mosque you want to see in advance since while some do not allow tourists to enter, others offer free guided tours.

Go to the beach; although there are private beaches, it is possible to get a tan on a public beach in Dubai without paying anything. And don't worry about clothing; although it is a Muslim country, foreign women can wear bikinis on the beach.

Also, do not forget to stroll through its pedestrian areas. Although Dubai is not a very "walkable" city, it has very spectacular spaces created for pedestrians. The Dubai Marina and Downtown are two of my favorite areas.

Cheap things to do in Dubai

It is worth a walk along the Dubai CreekIt is worth getting to know a little more about traditional Dubai before the oil boom. It can be crossed without paying for dinner or a boat ride, and the simplest way is to pay for the water taxis (abras) that take you from one side to the other. Taxis are standard and leave whenever they are complete (approximately 20 people) and cost 1 AED, less than 50 euro cents or 10 Mexican pesos, so although this activity is not free, it almost is.

Continuing with history, Dubai also has a museum Dubai Museum. It is the main museum of the city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and it is possible to visit it for only 3 AED, less than 1 euro, or 20 Mexican pesos. It is open from Saturday to Friday, and the hours can be consulted on its website.

A ride on the famous subway Dubai Metro is an attraction in itself. Its futuristic style, cleanliness, and quality make visitors want to experience a trip at least once. The cost depends on the distance but starts at 3 dirhams (less than 1 USD).

Extra activity. Global Village

This is no longer free, but it is still affordable compared to other attractions. For 15 dirhams (less than 5 USD), you can enter the Global Village, a complex where you can find pavilions from all over the world with replicas of symbols such as the Tower of Pisa or the floating markets of Thailand.
