What is the cost of living in Dubai?

Dubai is considered one of the most expensive cities in the world, but the cost of living largely depends on your lifestyle. Living in luxurious neighborhoods and eating in high-end restaurants, of course, will not be cheap. However, there are many options for a budget vacation. I found that local cafes and markets offer delicious food at reasonable prices. Public transport is accessible and efficient. Accommodation in mid-range hotels or renting an apartment through short-term rental services can significantly reduce costs. Entrance to many attractions is paid, but there are also free activities such as beaches and parks. In general, with proper planning, you can enjoy Dubai without excessive spending.
