I’m from the US but live in Oman for the time being. Tomorrow I have to leave the country for visa reasons so I’m going to Dubai to visit my friend for 2 days.

I’ve never been outside the airport and this is my first time actually seeing the place. This was an unexpected trip but I want to make the most out of it.

I didn’t get a chance to save up so I’m very broke right now. But I have around $150 to spend at most.

I don’t really need to do crazy activities cause I plan to come back - but my friend is convincing me that Dubai is a place for everyone and you can have fun even with no money in the bank.

Can anyone give me their best budget friendly hidden secrets of Dubai. Best restaurants, events, places to see, commuting tips etc.
