Vacationing in Dubai is amazing. It has beautiful beaches, beautiful cities, amazing weather, you name it.

It also has not-so-amazing prices. In fact, it is downright expensive.

Fortunately, though, there are hotels in the city that are in the heart of everything that will not cost your whole budget just to stay there.

They still have everything you need: great service, great rooms, close to attractions. But they will not cost you thousands or in most cases, even hundreds of dollars per night.

The first is Panorama Hotel Dubai. This cost saving hotel is located in the center of Bur Dubai City on Al Mankhool Road. It is a short five minute ride from the trade center and commercial areas of the city. It is also only minutes from the airport. There is even an English pub if you need a bit of a taste of home!

Secondly, the Queens Hotel Dubai, situated in the Deira district, is another wallet friendly choice. The Deira district is in the center of Dubai, close to the gold souk and spice market.

Lastly, the Rush Inn Hotel is the last choice that I recommend for a cheap hotel in Dubai. It is again in middle of the city, so you are not sacrificing location for price. It may appear to be rather an ordinary looking building, but you will amazed at the quality of the rooms and service.

Just know that there are alternatives while traveling in exotic locations. If you are not able to spend thousands of dollars a night (and face it, most of us are not) then good reviews from people who have gone before you can unearth some amazing travel experiences at great prices.
