Budget & Tips

Where to stay in Dubai for a relatively competitive price? Without hesitation in the districts of Deira and Bur Dubai and in the Al Barsha-Al Quoz area. We have put together a list of the best hotels in these two areas. In all hotels, a certain number of taxes are added to the price so it is important to check that the price indicated is net. If not, here are the details of the taxes applied in Dubai: 7% municipal tax plus 10% service tax and 5% VAT, i.e. a total of 22% on top of the price indicated.

To be booked

Reservations are essential during the school vacations between November and April and generally during the winter months between November and March. Occupancy rates are close to 90% during this period, so it is important to book in advance if you want to be in the right hotels.

What's very local

In this region, there is a lot of family travel and families can be very large. Therefore, most hotels have a number of rooms that connect to the parents' room and there are many twin rooms. So when you make your reservation, it is important to specify if you want rooms that connect. Children are very welcome in the country and many hotels have clubs dedicated to them.

For food lovers

What strikes you when you arrive in Dubai is the immense cultural mix. The breakfast reflects this very well. You will find a huge choice to satisfy all palates and all cultures. Often, they are more like a brunch than a breakfast and many tourists prefer to have a brunch and a tea later in the afternoon with some sweets, while skipping lunch.

Smokers

Smoking is permitted in all areas that allow it. Most hotels have smoking rooms. Many restaurants still have a smoking area, but not all. Smoking is not allowed in shopping malls and around government agencies, nor on the beach or in parks. Tobacco is freely available in supermarkets and gas stations, but only for those over 18. Smoking is not allowed in cars in the presence of children under 12 years old.

Tourist traps

In Dubai, there are no tourist traps, because everything is regulated and the controls are very frequent in the hotels which strictly follow the international standards.
