Dubai, UAE, has a reputation of being a travel destination for the rich and wealthy. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t explore this unique and exciting city on a budget. Here are some ways to do it.

Avoid Visiting During Peak Season

The best time to visit Dubai is during winter, as the temperatures significantly drop compared to the scorching heat of the summer. However, this is also when budget traveling becomes challenging due to high demand. Instead, visit during the off-season, when the temperatures are higher but prices of flight tickets and accommodation get slashed. Additionally, many of the shopping malls and restaurants offer discounts during this time.  

Don’t Buy at Shopping Malls

You should definitely visit some of the famous shopping malls in Dubai as they are an attraction for themselves. However, don’t spend your money there as you will be expected to pay a premium. Instead, do your shopping at souks in the old part of the city. Here you’ll find great goods and souvenirs at affordable prices, especially if you bargain a bit.

Use Metro as Much as You Can

Dubai is far from walkable and you will need to use transportation to get from one place to another in most cases. Make sure to use the metro for this as much as you can. It is the cheapest, most convenient, and most reliable form of transportation. Consider getting a Nol Card, which can give you an even better deal on metro fares while providing discounts on other services.

Eat Local Food

Dubai is a city with some of the best restaurants in the world, but resist the urge to visit them if you want to save money. The same goes for popular fast-food chains like McDonald’s. Instead, opt to eat local food that is just as tasty and costs a fraction of the price. You’ll find great eateries that offer cheap food in Satwa and Deira districts.

If you’re into beautiful, calm-inducing destinations that are also perfect for your skin, hurry up and put Israel’s Dead Sea on your bucket list. This extra-salty natural wonder—which also happens to be the lowest point on earth—can work wonders for all sorts of skin conditions. Numerous visitors a year come there looking to heal and improve various skin issues.

So, what are the skincare secrets of the Dead Sea? Let’s explore.

The Health Benefits of Dead Sea Minerals

The source of the Dead Sea’s skincare and general health benefits is the diversity of minerals it contains. These include magnesium, calcium, bromide, potassium, iodine, and more, all of which are considered highly beneficial for the body, skin, hair, and nails. Many even testify to the contribution of Dead Sea minerals to the improvement and healing of different diseases.

Using it in Your Advantage

By either bathing in its water or applying its black mud on your skin (or both!), you absorb the Dead Sea’s abundance of minerals. Whether you’re struggling with acne, dandruff, psoriasis, or even skin allergies—there’s a significant chance for relief there. Obviously, you can buy Dead Sea products in the nearest beauty store, but what’s the fun in that?

The Dead Sea is a salty haven of serenity, looking out to the view of the Negev desert, with spa treatments behind every corner. Plus, the concentration of salt in the water means you can float effortlessly while inside! How cool is that?

If you’re a history buff, and love to incorporate real life history lessons with your travels, then you have come to the right place. There are many countries around the world that offer glimpses into history and allow you feel like you’re walking back in time. We’ve complied a few of our favorites into a short list so that you’ll know where to start. Keep reading and start packing your bags for the ultimate history vacation.

Jerusalem, Israel

Jerusalem is the epicenter of monotheistic religion. The cobblestoned streets and ancient ruins is a testament to the thousands of years the land has witnessed. We recommend a stroll through Jerusalem’s Old City where you’ll enter through ancient gates into times of Judea. The city is separated into quarters—Jewish, Armenian, Arab, and Christian—all offering their own unique history and culture that is a tapestry waiting to be unwrapped.

Pompeii, Italy

Pompeii is the ancient city in Italy that was destroyed by a volcano thousands of years prior. Many artifacts, stones, and and statues, remain intact after being in rubble for so many years. The city allows you to step back in time, and bear witness to the lives of Ancient Romans, and see genuine artifacts that make you feel like you were really there.

Athens, Greece

Athens makes your middle school history textbook come to life. As the sight of the first Olympic games, you’ll get a glimpse into life as an ancient Greek and bear witness to Ancient ruins that will transport you back in time.
