What do you do when the cheapest flights all seem to be heading to the most expensive destinations? Websites such as Dial A Flight are currently jam packed with fabulous deals on cheap flights to Dubai, but as one of the world''s most glamorous and luxurious holiday destinations, is it possible to get such a good deal on the rest of your trip?

If you are willing to think creatively, the answer is most definitely yes. Of course, the five star hotels and designer shopping malls for which Dubai is so famous are not so accessible for those travelling on a budget, but there are many other, more affordable attractions that could entice shoe-string travellers to Dubai.

Get your trip off to a good start by doing plenty of research. Check a range of travel companies to find out who has the most competitive prices on flights and shop around extensively for your accommodation. Websites such as Money Supermarket or Money Saving Expert could be able to point out any particular special offers.

Whilst known as a commercial hotspot, full of glamorous designer shopping complexes and beautiful beach resorts, Dubai is also ...
... a fantastic place to learn about Arab culture. This can be done in two ways. First of all, you could head to one of Dubai''s many museums. For the most part these are concise, entertaining and highly informative and it will come as welcome news to the budget traveller that most of them are free. Secondly, steer off the beaten track. You don''t have to do anything in particular, but walking around the local areas that are populated with native residents as opposed to 90% tourists and keeping your eyes open can teach you more about a culture than all the guidebooks in the world.

Shopping is, without a doubt, one of Dubai''s major tourist attractions and those who are on a budget needn''t miss out altogether. There are many markets and backstreet boutiques with clothes, shoes and jewellery on offer at less than designer prices. Furthermore, if you''d like something handmade, head to the textile market, choose your fabric and take it to the tailor''s. You''ll have an inexpensive, made to measure outfit in no time.

Street food in Dubai is a particular treat. You can find many curries and Indian breads as well as Arabic, Iraqi and Iranian food. You will also find that many of these outdoor eateries provide fabulous atmosphere as well as great grub. So save your pennies by skipping the five star restaurants and dig in with the locals instead.

Those feeling flush can hire drivers to take them from one side of the city to the other, but those financially opposed to such extravagances will find that public transport will do just fine. The city''s bus network is cheap and efficient and covers a vast range of locations.

So if you can find yourself cheap flights to Dubai, whether you''re travelling last minute or planning well in advance, you should have no problem finding enough amusements to fit your travel budget. It''s time Dubai opened itself up to all travel markets.
