32,8 € (122.7 AED / 2,279.7 ₽)- minimum budget for the dayin Dubai 🇦🇪... That's enough for a decent budget hostel, two trips for public transport and food (the sum is equal to two lunches in inexpensive cafes).

This amount does not include the cost of travel and insurance. A round-trip ticket from Moscow can be found for 14-17 thousand rubles. In February 2018, FlyDubai posted an erroneous tariff - from different cities of Russia it was possible to fly to Dubai from 2,600 rubles in both directions. This happens, but does not last long - this tariff ended in 3 hours. To react in time, subscribe to the @samokatus telegram channel.

How much does it cost to get from Dubai airport to the city?

There are several ways to get from the airport to downtown Dubai:

• By buses there are routes to different parts of the city. The center can be reached in about an hour, but there may be traffic jams. The ticket costs about 10 dirhams (174.4 ₽).
• On underground can be reached faster, in about 45 minutes. For a trip to the center, the ticket will cost approximately 8 dirhams (174.4 ₽).
• Taxi to the center of Dubai will cost an average of 70 dirhams ($ 19.99). The landing price at Dubai airport is 20-25 dirhams (while in the city - from 5 to 8).
• Private transfer(cost from 40 €) can be ordered on the website and.

Important! Look at which terminal you are arriving at. There are three of them at Dubai International Airport (DXB):

• Terminal 3... Let's start with him. It is the most modern and convenient one, designed only for Emirates aircraft.
• Terminal 1. Most flights of other airlines (except for low-cost airlines) arrive there. Terminals 1 and 3 are nearby and connected to the city by a metro line.
• Terminal 2. Low-cost airlines (for example, FlyDubai) arrive there. Terminal 2 is separated from the rest by the runway. There is a shuttle between the terminals, which can be accessed only if you have a boarding terminal at the destination or a hotel is booked in this terminal (you can make a fake booking). The problem is that shuttles run every 20-30 minutes, and they take at least 10-15 minutes. So make sure that your transfer does not go through different terminals (and if it does, then you should have at least 1.5-2 hours in stock). From the second terminal you can go to the city by bus or taxi. The metro is a 20 minute walk along the road without sidewalk. If you are arriving only with hand luggage in the evening, then this is a simple, but not the most pleasant walk.

Hotels: prices for double rooms in Dubai hotels start from 20-25 € (for example, Dream Palace Hotel or Mayfair Hotel). Well priced options range from € 30-35 (e.g. Premier Inn Dubai Al Jaddaf or Citymax Hotel). Including at such prices there are rooms in three-star hotels.

The Arab Dirham is the national currency of the UAE, the most stable in the world. What is the exchange rate in the country? Which currency is profitable to take with you, and which one to pay?

UAE currency rate. Ratio to world currencies

The international abbreviation for the dirham is AED. Unofficial - DH or Dhs. The dirham is equal to 100 fils. The UAE currency exchange rate is pegged to the dollar and is kept artificially. Accordingly, the dirham exchange rate changes to other currencies simultaneously with the dollar.

Current course:

• 1 USD - 3.6719 AED;
• 1 EUR - 4.1221 AED;
• 1 RUB - 0.0540 AED;
• 1 GBP - 5.6531 AED;

Before leaving for the Emirates, check out the course in Russia and the UAE. In Dubai, for example, the euro exchange is not profitable in comparison with the exchange rate in Russia. If you have a Master card, Visa, you can pay with them, even if the card is in rubles. However, the conversion rate will be extremely unprofitable.

UAE currency to ruble: how to calculate the exchange rate?

Some exchange offices began to practice the exchange of rubles for dirhams. It is easy to calculate the rate on your own, knowing the current value of the dollar in ruble terms.

Let's say that now they give 68 rubles and 3.67 dirhams for 1 USD. We carry out the calculation:

• divide 68 by 3.67;
• we get a coefficient of 18.5;
• multiply dirham 100 by 18.5.

As a result, the UAE currency against the ruble will be 1,850 rubles per 100 dirhams. The formula is valid for all currencies due to the stability of the dirham against the dollar.

It is advisable to leave rubles only on the way back. It makes no sense to bring them to the Emirates: the exchange rate is impressively lower than the Russian one, since Russians are active tourists, in the Emirates and on the exchange they can make good money.

UAE currency against the dollar: where is it profitable to exchange?

The national currency of the UAE is reliably "pegged" to the dollar, and since 1971 the price range of the pair has not changed significantly. The dollar is now equal to 3.67 dirhams. The most advantageous rate is applied in relation to $ 100 banknotes, the rate for the rest of the banknotes is significantly lower.

However, if the bills are dilapidated, the exchange will be carried out without deviating from the standard rate. It is profitable to exchange dollars for Arab dirhams in exchange offices (Money Exchange) at a rate higher than in hotels, at the airport, in banks.

Paying in local currency, you can save a lot: when paying for goods and services in dollars, sellers recalculate the cost of products in dirhams at an undervalued rate of 3.4 Dhs per USD.

What currency to take in the UAE? How to save money on the exchange?

When planning a trip to the Emirates, people are wondering what currency to take in the UAE? The best way- take dollars and then exchange them for local banknotes. Exchange, payment in USD is not a problem due to its popularity.

There is definitely no need to take Russian banknotes and the currency of the CIS countries because of the unfavorable exchange rate. The maximum winning dollar exchange can be made in Dubai - 3.67 dirhams.

When paying for goods with local money, you can save on big discounts, which is not possible when calculating in USD. Unused Arab money can be exchanged back without any problems.

Currency in the UAE: a note for tourists

There are no restrictions on the transportation of any money. However, if the amount is impressive, the authorities will demand an explanation of where the foreign or currency in the UAE came from. Tourists will have to name the reason for their transportation across the border.

• when paying a bill in a restaurant with local banknotes, the tip will be included in the bill amount - do not leave any more, not accepted;
• a porter in a hotel or at the airport can pay 5-10 dirhams, depending on the amount of luggage;
• do not leave a tip to taxi drivers - there is no such tradition;
• if you run out of Arab money, they will accept pounds sterling, euros, dollars, but you will lose on the course - take care of the cash in advance.

Don't worry about the incomprehensible numbers on the dirhams! On the back you will see the familiar Arabic characters. Paradoxically, almost everyone in the world uses Arabic numerals, while Arabs use Indian numerals.

Many already know and have often heard from other tourists that the United Arab Emirates is far from the cheapest country. But how would you like to see the famous "Palms", Burj Khalifa, the gorgeous White Mosque at least once, ride through the desert in powerful jeeps and (if you're lucky) see a golden Lamborghini with a tame leopard in the passenger seat.

Finally, you buy a tour to Dubai (UAE). They paid for it, exhaled, and then realized that it would be nice to take money with us. But how much money should I take? Let's try to figure it out.

We warn you right away that it is better to take dollars as the main currency in the United Arab Emirates. Here they are loved more than euros. However, if you really like the money of the European Union, then you can take it with you. Nobody will give them up in the UAE for sure.

For a better understanding of what you can spend money on in Dubai, let's make a list:

• Accommodation;
• Nutrition;
• Transport;
• Entertainment;
• Purchases.

Accommodation.

Despite the fact that Dubai (UAE) is a rather expensive city, you can stay here in a 2 * hotel or find luxury apartments in a five-star hotel. Moreover, it is not necessary that a two-star hotel will be very bad. It will just be located a few dozen minutes away from the beach and the range of services provided will be minimal. But this alignment will allow you to freely roam the city and discover all its beauty.

The minimum cost of living in Dubai can start from (approximately) $ 60 per night per person. Only it will be a room or suite either in a private house or in popular guest houses. For this price, you will (often) just get a room, located far from the nearest metro station and from the beaches. Even breakfast will have to be provided for yourself.
Optimal in terms of cost - about $ 2000 per week for two people - there will be a hotel with 3 - 4 "stars". But for that price, you get breakfast and pretty decent service.

During Peak High Season, such numbers will cost approximately $ 2,400.

If you don't want to think about anything else (three meals a day, several excursions already paid for and a couple more pleasant bonuses), then you need to prepare an amount of $ 2400 per week for two.
But first, you need to understand for yourself what is more important for you: to wander around the city yourself, which is called "breathing its air"; see and visit those places that you want to see, eat then and there where you want, or surrender to the will of the tour organizers, hotel management and just calmly "go with the flow." For the most part, the first option of rest is chosen by young couples (often without children) and active, the second option
recreation fits married couples with children.

Nutrition.

As mentioned in one of our articles, dining in cafes and restaurants in Dubai is a rather expensive item of expenses. Because lunch or dinner for one person can cost an average of about $ 50. Whereas you can have a hearty lunch in small cafes in the Indian quarter of Dubai for a maximum of $ 20. There is another option to eat: some of the Iranian cafes operate on a buffet basis. That is, on the tables in such a cafe there is a wide range of various dishes Iranian cuisine, you pay about $ 14 at the entrance and you can eat whatever you like and in any quantity. Well, or in extreme cases, kill your appetite with local shawarma for $ 1.5.

If you even roughly estimate how much food can cost for a week for two, then the amount will fluctuate around $ 300. You can spend more, it all depends on you.

Small warnings: Dishes like "soup" practically do not exist in the United Arab Emirates. The most that you can find in cafes and restaurants in the Emirates is different variations of cream soups.

Dishes in Arabic cuisine are quite spicy.

Gratuities are often already included in the total amount of the check.

Transport.

In Dubai, the choice of transport that you can use to move around the city is quite large: buses, metro, taxis or a rented car.

The cheapest option for getting around the city is the metro. The maximum cost of a metro ride can be around $ 7.

Before taking a metro ride, you will need to buy a special card (you can use it to travel not only by the metro, but also by buses and even taxis). There are cards
different, with a different amount on the account.

The payment system in the Dubai metro is as follows: you enter a certain station, bring this card to a special device. Then, upon arrival, you must again bring the card to the device and it will calculate the cost of your trip.

Make sure that there are always funds on the card. Because if there is not enough money on the account, the equipment will simply not let you out of the metro.

Taxi, surprisingly, is also pretty a budget option to move from one point to another - a taxi. For a week, you can spend up to $ 50 for intensive use of this type of transport. Boarding (in a taxi) costs about $ 1, each kilometer of the trip - about $ 0.4. This is if the counter. With "private traders" you can agree in advance on the cost of the trip, you can even bargain. The maximum cost of one trip within the city is up to $ 4.

If you expect that there will be a lot of travel and not only in Dubai, then there is a reason to rent a car. The maximum amount of car rental per day is up to $ 50. The higher the rental price, the higher the class of the rented car. The required amount of the deposit for the selected car will depend on the class of the car. vehicle... It happens that you may be required to deposit up to $ 1000.

In order to rent a car in Dubai, you will need your passport, photo and international driving license.

Local roads are a pleasure to drive - smooth, beautiful markings. Only at first, unrealistic transport interchanges, for example, such as near Dubai Moll, are a little embarrassing. In order to understand which road to go and which turn to take, you can spend some time and drive a few wrong circles along this junction.

What is unusually pleasant, the local population is very polite and helpful on the road. If suddenly something happened on your way and you stopped, then literally in a couple of minutes the worried one will stop next to you local in order to help.

Let's roughly calculate: if you move around the city using the metro, buses and taxis, then in seven days you can spend about $ 50 for two... If these are trips by a rented car, then you will have to spend about $ 150

Entertainment.

It is true that everything is very expensive in Dubai. The average price of excursions is around $ 100. It will be something grandiose, like a trip to the Arabian Desert, followed by an overnight stay. When the guide begins to advertise this excursion, everything is presented in rainbow colors: they will drive a chic powerful jeep, and you will meet a sunset sitting on the day, and half-naked oriental beauties will dance in front of you while you taste the local food. But in reality, everything is happening much more prosaic and on a smaller scale. Accordingly, it is up to you to decide whether to buy such entertainment for a decent amount of money or not.

But you can find excursions and cheaper. For example, a canal ride in the local analogy of Venice will cost about $ 25 for two. Climbing the site in Burj Khalifa for one will cost about $ 40. If you want to visit the largest aquarium in the world, you will have to pay about $ 35 per person for a ticket.

And there is also the opportunity to enjoy the beauty or unusual objects of Dubai for free. For example, see and listen to the Musical Fountain at the foot of the Burj Khalifa. Or look at the marine life of the Aquarium simply by visiting the Dubai Moll (there is a part of the aquarium that can be viewed without going inside the Aquarium and without buying an entrance ticket).

Let's calculate: If we assume that during a week of stay in Dubai you want to visit three excursions (including visiting the Aquarium, Drop off Dubai, any of the local water parks), then you will spend about $ 200 on excursions. Now let's add visits to zoos to this amount, discos, bars, you can add about $ 100 more. As a result, we get about $ 300.

Purchases.

Absolutely everyone knows that in the United Arab Emirates and in particular in Dubai gorgeous bazaars, incredible in size shopping centers that it is here that many eminent couturiers bring their specially created collections and that it is here that you can buy original electronic equipment at a price that is half the global price. And how not to come to Dubai, and not buy something like that for your loved one (not counting the huge list of traditional souvenirs).

If you are counting on buying ordinary souvenirs and are not going to buy anything else, then you need to allocate about $ 100 more from the budget (a very approximate amount). If you want to buy a fur coat, a new phone or a camera, or pamper yourself with gold and pebbles, then you need to allocate several thousand more dollars. But we will not take this into account.

The only advice we can give you is to resist the massive urge to buy everything. Especially if your vacation was in the months of January - February. During this period, a large Sales Festival takes place in Dubai. Absolutely all shops and shops offer 50% discounts on all their products (as stated by law). And some sellers add their own additional discounts to this 50%. In this situation, it is difficult not to succumb to the mass purchase hysteria. Remember, first of all, you came to Dubai to relax, and not to buy everything.

Let's summarize.

If you do not waste much money and relax in Dubai within reason, visit several excursions, eat in local original cafes and sometimes pamper each other on a romantic evening in your room with a bottle of wine by candlelight, do not sweep everything off the shelves of shops, then it is quite possible to take with you the amount of $ 1000 and enjoy a great vacation.

Enjoy an unforgettable stay in the most exciting resort city in the world, Dubai.

A standard seven-day tour to Dubai for two will cost about 60,000 rubles. This is the initial cost, which includes flight, hotel accommodation and breakfast. Having paid for the package tour, you just have to calculate the cost of additional costs in order to form the final amount of the trip. Let's take a closer look at the necessary spending in Dubai for active tourists, including entertainment, excursions, food and shopping.

Food costs

The all-inclusive system is extremely rare in the Emirates, usually hotels only offer breakfast. You can have a tasty and hearty lunch in numerous Dubai cafes and restaurants. Below are the prices for lunch per person:

• Indian restaurant - from 50 dirham (900 rubles);
• French restaurant - from 300 dirham (5 400 rubles);
• cafe - from 50 dirhams (900 rubles);
• McDonald's - from 25 dirhams (450 rubles);
• Iranian restaurant (buffet) - from 60 dirham (1080 rubles).

In Indian and Pakistani restaurants, lunch will include a main course, a side dish and a drink, for a dessert you will have to pay an additional 25 dirhams (450 rubles). If you prefer to eat only in restaurants, take at least 20,000 rubles for meals for two. Going on a trip with a child, you will have to significantly increase this amount, since dishes from the children's menu are more expensive.

You can significantly reduce your food costs by buying groceries at the supermarket and spending time preparing meals.

The prices in the store are significantly higher than in our country, but they cannot be compared with a set menu in a restaurant. A standard set of products will cost the following:

• potatoes 1 kg - 4 dirhams (72 rubles);
• milk 1 l - 6 dirham (108 rubles);
• apples 1 kg - 8 dirham (144 rubles);
• eggs 10 pcs - 8 dirhams (144 rubles);
• bananas 1 kg - 7 dirham (126 rubles);
• meat pie - 2 dirhams (36 rubles).

Supermarkets also sell ready-made meals including pizza, sandwiches, pies and freshly baked goods.

The most economical food option is street food. A set of shawarma, pies and grilled chicken will cost 30 dirhams (540 rubles). However, there are a lot of spices in such delicacies, and they are not suitable for everyone.

Transportation costs

Taxi is the most acceptable mode of transportation in. You can comfortably and safely get to your destination on special cars of the taxi company. A trip within the city will cost from 12 to 40 dirhams (from 216 to 810 rubles), travel to other cities will cost from 50 to 100 dirhams (from 900 to 1,800 rubles).

Those who prefer to plan their own route and explore the surroundings can rent a car. Comfortable roads and clear rules of movement will allow you to feel confident on the track and enjoy driving.

The rental price ranges from 91 to 165 dirhams (from 1,600 to 3,000 rubles) per day. It all depends on the car and your bargaining skills.

Excursion costs

Some interesting sites in Dubai can be viewed for free, for example, drop by the legendary Dubai Mall or visit the dancers. However, most of the attractions are available as part of organized excursions, which are very expensive.

The prices for the current moment are set as follows:

• sightseeing tour of the city - 367 dirham (6 600 rubles);
• a trip to the Atlantis Palm Waterpark - 367 dirham (6 600 rubles);
• excursion to the White Mosque - 440 dirhams (7,900 rubles);
• a visit to the Ferrari World park - 514 dirham (9 200 rubles).

If you organize the trip yourself, you can save a lot. For example, a visit to the Burj Khalifa observation deck, which is included in the sightseeing tour, will cost 136 dirhams (2,400 rubles), for a child the price will be 100 dirhams (1,800 rubles).

Shopping expenses

Shopping in each budget is highlighted on a separate line, and everyone decides for himself what to bring from Dubai. Furs, gold and electronics are sold here cheaper than in Russia, and the quality of the goods is excellent.

If you decide to limit yourself only to the purchase of themed souvenirs, then the costs will be small. A liter of camel milk will cost 20 dirhams (360 rubles), incense sticks can be purchased for 10 dirhams (180 rubles) apiece, magnets, key rings and mugs also cost 10 dirhams.

How much money to take to Dubai?

The most budget travel option includes accommodation and breakfast at the hotel, shopping at the nearest supermarket and avoiding long trips. In this scenario, you should count on 50 dirhams (900 rubles) per day per person.

If you have lunch and dinner in cafes, sometimes visit expensive restaurants and have planned to see several attractions, expect 200 dirhams (3,600 rubles) per person per day.
