Dubai is well-known for its oil money as well as the lavish lifestyle that goes along with boatloads of bank. But the people of the United Arab Emirates aren't your typical rich squares. They're much more imaginative than you would expect, and they've created visually enticing buildings and modern hotels, some of which run in the THOU$AND$ per night. Luckily those aren't your only options. There are other places around town that are just as appealing and at a fraction of the cost. These hotels have all the luxuries of a high-end resort, but at an attractively affordable price. Take a dip in the pool, enjoy a massage at the spa, or sip on a classic Dubai cocktail made-to-order. Whichever you prefer, you can do it surrounded by class and style at one of these fantastic locations.
