Here are the tips shared by the couple:
1. Book your stay near a metro station
You can cut down on transportation costs by staying near a metro station. This way, you can simply walk to the station and travel around the city via the metro. It is a small change that can save you a significant amount in the long run.
2. Use the metro for city travel
Dubai's metro system is one of the best ways to get around the city efficiently and affordably. While taxis and private cars may be convenient, they come with a hefty price tag. The metro is a much cheaper option, and it also helps you avoid the city's congested roads.
3. Book taxis using the Careem app
If you do need to take a taxi, always book through the Careem app. The couple recommends using Hala Taxi through the Careem app, as it offers the most budget-friendly rides.
4. Buy water bottles from local shops
Hydration is key, especially in Dubai's warm climate. However, buying water bottles at restaurants can be surprisingly expensive, with prices up to three times higher than local stores. To save money, always purchase bottled water from mini-marts, supermarkets or local shops, where you will get the same product at a fraction of the cost.
5. Use travel apps to book combo tickets for attractions
Dubai is home to some of the world's most famous attractions. Instead of purchasing individual tickets at full price, use travel apps like KLook, Get Your Guide or DoJoin to book combo tickets. These platforms often offer great discounts.
