5. Dubai, UAE: Luxury and Adventure at a Fraction

Dubai is famed for its luxury shopping, ultramodern architecture, and vibrant nightlife. However, it's possible to experience its extravagance affordably.

For dining, explore local eateries in Deira for delicious and inexpensive meals. Take advantage of the city's numerous public beaches for a day of sun and sand without the expense of a private beach club.
