How to get around

Subway
Public transport in Dubai is very well organized and cheap. You can buy a day pass for 5 euros 50 and use it all throughout the city.

Boat
A boat trip is the best way to enjoy the Dubai skyline. Take a step back and enjoy the sights from the water. The wind going trough your hair is a nice bonus to cool off after an unavoidably hot day in Dubai.

Walking
Even though Dubai is known for luxury cars, there is nothing wrong with walking in this city. Maybe this is the European in me, but if you bring a hat and some water, a nice walk is always a good idea.

What to pack for Dubai

Document

Because I'm experienced, reliable, and focused on results, I've had the privilege of working with a host of fantastic clients.

Clothes

Toiletries

Our work is our purpose, our driving force. It's the reason we get up every day and do what we do. Most importantly, it keeps pushing us to achieve bigger and better things with each new challenge.

Electronics

Dubai Marina

The Dubai Marina is the place to be to see and be seen, if that's your type of thing. I mostly enjoyed coming across things that scream "Dubai" to me, like overpriced stores, luxury car rentals, and chic restaurants. As a budget backpacker, I personally don't really enjoy the way rich people live, but it is cool to see, especially when you visit one of the richest cities in the world.

Where To Stay

What To Do

Dubai Marina Walk

The Dubai Marina Walk stretches for about 8 kilometers and is lined with numerous cafes, restaurants and shops. Walking the entire length of the Dubai Marina Walk can take more than half a day, especially if you take your sweet time and  stop to check out some of the cafes and shops.

Marina Beach

Marina Beach is one of the best free beaches in Dubai. Take a break from sunbathing to dip into the water from time to time. Enjoy a nice book, watch the sunset, and see the promenade come to life after dark.

Dubai Mall

I've seen the Dubai Mall come across my Instagram Feed daily so I knew when I was in the neighborhood had to swing by and check it out! Dubai Mall is enormous and I mean ENOURGMOUS! 

What To Do

Sky View Observatory

Are you afraid of heights? Because at the Sky View Observatory, the elevator will not stop until you reach one of the highest points in the city. At 219.5 meters high, you will get a breathtaking view of Dubai. You can even go on a glass slide, but it's only for the real daredevils! The entrance costs about 23 euros.

Burj Khalifa

ABOUT ME

Hi guys, my name is Noah. I'm a 21-year-old Dutchie eager to explore what the world has to offer. I have been finding ways to travel and live a comfortable life on a budget for a few years now and thought it was about time I'd share my experiences, tips, and advice with the world! Traveling can be super expensive (as a student I definitely know). Nevertheless, it is completely possible to see our beautiful earth without having to break the bank. On this blog, I like to take you with me on my task to see as much as I possibly can on a shoestring budget. With my camera in one hand and notebook in the other I want to share the good, the bad, and the ugly and hopefully inspire you for your next trip. From wandering through a newfound town to a city trip nearby. This is a true traveler experience told by a regular girl. I hope to see you around!
