Dubai is one of the most resourceful cities in the world. Also known as the mineral hub of the world, Dubai is a place clearly for millionaires and billionaires. To be honest, surviving without money is extremely difficult in any country given the economic backdrop of the concerned country. But when it comes to the richest city of the world in the monetary sense, it is extremely essential that you chalk out a clear and an effective plan to stock up on your money and find the perfect way to save your hard earnings.
Many expatriates living in Dubai are struggling to save money because there income is not as high to keep with the rising cost of living in that country. While it may be extremely hard to get adjusted to being rags from riches, here are a few things that you can do in order to save money staying in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
- Chalk out your BUDGET: It is important to maintain a BUDGET every month and only spend the fixed amount meant for the expenditure. Do not get tempted to the numerous things that Dubai has to offer. Initially, it may be a little difficult to maintain the budget, especially with your start-up costs. But as years progress and your company reaches a standard, do stash in amount in your savings. 25%-30% per month can be saved from your monthly income. Depending on your salary, adapt to the lifestyle.
- Choose Supermarkets: I know most of you would be dying to buy items from either Waitrose or Spinneys, but if you plan to cut down on your expenditure and save the money instead, visit the supermarkets to buy your monthly products. You can 90% of the products in the supermarkets. As far as buying fruits and vegetables are concerned, you can try the Union Co-Op in Dubai and you can get fishes from the ports itself or a regular fish market. The ports offer you fresh fish and though it may not be the wisest to buy meat from the meat vendors, you can consider buying it from Carrefour, since it is cheap.
- Keep only one Card: Dubai, being the financial hub of the Middle East, the banks there will tempt you into acquiring their credit cards, even without a bank account! If you wish to save, go and get only one credit card which will see you through the month. If the credit limit offered is not enough, you can always try other local banks.
- Go for an Apartment: It is understandable that if you have a family, you will choose what’s best for everyone. But you have to realize that besides the regular rent, you will have a large maintenance cost for a villa than an apartment. So choose wisely, considering your monthly expenditure.
Also, book your flights and hotels TravelTheWorldHQ.xyz to save on the costs. This concludes some of the most important ways in which you can save money, living in one of the richest countries in the world, Dubai. Do plan and play accordingly; you wouldn’t want to run bankrupt in a country as grand as this.
We absolutely loved this tour, being immersed in the culture, sights and experiences of Japan was wonderful. We can’t thanks our guide Suzuki enough for his genuine care and interest in making sure we got the most out of our tour and sharing his extensive knowledge and experience of his home country with us. It made for a trip of a lifetime. Our driver was also so courteous and caring and made sure he did everything he could to make our tour as safe and comfortable as possible.

We got back Saturday night. We had a great time and would recommend the family trip to others. The guide, Mike, was very good and we enjoyed all the stops and activities. The first day before the tour we went to Kuantan town and the last day we spent at Swiss Garden before catching our local flight home. Thank you for all planning and information.
