« •❤️ You can absolutely spend your vacation in the Emirates without breaking the bank, offering non-luxury experiences. ❤️
✔️ First of all, you need to try eating at local cafes. Just order lunch, which includes soup, salad, main dish, and meat. 🍲 Portions are huge, so share between two people! All for just 8 USD (30 AED).
✔️ Getting around here is easy with buses and the metro. For example, a bus ride from Sharjah bus station to Dubai costs about 2.70 USD (10 AED). After that, it’s just a short metro ride or you can walk, which we did a lot and enjoyed! 🤠
✔️ As for tours, we booked a unique experience (not far from the hotel) – it was a jeep safari. Everything else we bought either through official sites or arranged our own way by bus. For instance, there are buses to Abu Dhabi every 30 minutes! 🚌 »
We decided that we didn’t want to travel according to the tour schedule. Plus, it turned out to be cheaper!
3 days of rental cost us 450 dirhams, which is about $122.
We're already enjoying the sights of the Emirates on the second day.
✔️ By the way, if you go to Fujairah, you can find beautiful mountains along the coastline of the Oman Gulf. It's really stunning! »

By the way, the exchange rate has been stable for 20 years.
1$ = 3.67 dirhams. »
To be honest, I wasn't that impressed.
The brands, boutiques, and especially the prices are just like back home. Or am I missing something? We visited the largest mall in Sharjah - Sahara Mall. »
