This is just a rough estimate and prices can vary depending on the season and your specific choices. Additionally, food, personal expenses and travel insurance aren’t included in this budget. It’s important to note that United Arab Emirates is a developed country and the infrastructure is very good and developed. However, the prices of the activities and accommodation can be quite high, so it’s important to plan ahead and budget accordingly. Additionally, it’s important to pack appropriate clothing as some places in the UAE are quite conservative and require modest dress. And be aware of the weather as it can be quite hot and humid in some parts of UAE.
