Cheap Hotels Dubai
As one of the world’s top holiday destinations, Dubai has built a reputation on its tourist industry. Because of the unprecedented success of the country as a tourist hotspot there is a growing demand for cheap hotels in Dubai in addition to its already high calibre world renowned hotels. If you have budget to stay at some of the countries luxury hotels then great, however, the general populous will not be able to afford 5 star accommodation.
Dubai has many cheaper hotels that also have fantastic service at a fraction of the cost. Generally, if you want to find cheap hotels and deals, the best place to avoid the New Dubai areas such as Jumeirah where prices are always high. The Sheikh Zayed Road area is also a no no as this is also very sought after and can cost a lot higher than other regions.
If you are tight on a budget, areas to look at are; Deira, Bur Dubai and Al Satwa. Deira is a renowned area and is home to a large population of migrant workers. The good thing is that you are only a 10-15 minute walk to the gold souk which is right next to the Creek. It makes a very good walk, and because Dubai is a virtually crime free country, it is relatively safe to travel at any time of the day or night although we would always encourage people to use common sense and be vigilant at all times. If you want to see how the local migrant workers who are generally from a Pakistani background live, then its definitely worth staying in Deira. Hotels to check out are the Le Meridien in Deira.
Bur Dubai Hotels are slightly different to Deira, it is a buzzing little area which is home to a large Indian migrant population (mostly from Karela). It is close to shopping malls such as Ibn Batuta Mall, and is about a 10 minute drive to Jumeirah. It has a fantastic market called ‘Mina Bazaar’ which specialises in clothing that you can get at good prices. There are many cheap hotels in Bur Dubai that you will be able to find.
Hotels in Al Satwa should really be on the bottom of the list unless you are on a very tight budget. Although the area runs parallel to Sheikh Zayed Road, it is the area which is considered to be the main place where migrant workers stay. There are many good places to eat in Al Satwa although tourists very rarely stay in Al Satwa.
It is advised that before you book any cheap hotels in Dubai that you research thoroughly. We would encourage you read reviews of the hotels that you are staying at so you have carried out the relevant due diligence to ensure there are no surprises when you arrive.
