Hotel recommendations for UAE / Dubai:

Budget ($28-45/night):
Basic guesthouses near the main strip. Look for places with guest-friendly policies.

Mid-Range ($62-110/night):
Local boutique hotels with good ratings. These usually have pools and fitness centers.

Premium ($120+/night):
Luxury apartments via Airbnb.

Guest-Friendly Policy:
Always book through online platforms for proof of reservation.

Location tip: Stay near the central business district.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
