In the case of low cost travelers, a number of Arab countries have low average daily expenses, cheap intercity transport, and low accommodation and provide good culture and scenery. The prices are dependent on the time of year and city, yet these destinations will continue to be some of the best-value destinations in the region in 2025 in terms of food, attractions, and accommodations.
Top Budget Picks
- Egypt: Cairo and Luxor are two of the lowest priced city breaks in the Middle East, and there are cheap meals, low cost guesthouses, and cheap site entry in the pharaonic and the Islamic heritage trails.
- Jordan: During off-peak Petra times, it is possible to have a low-cost trip to Amman and Aqaba with shared transportation, local restaurants, and Jordan Pass voucher discounts on most places.
- Morocco: It is part of North Africa, though many tourists cluster around Arab traveller routes, Marrakesh and Fez have good bargain riads and street food, particularly in low season.
- Tunisia: Wallet friendly beach resorts and Roman ruins are also available in Tunisia with reasonably priced hotels and cheap transport in the seaside.
- Oman (cheap): Camping, free beaches, and self-driving routes could counter the increased hotel prices when tourists visit local restaurants and itineraries using fuel-saving alternatives.
- Lebanon (shoulder seasons): The best deal is not during the summer, and the hostels, shared taxis and street food are less expensive when reserved in advance in Beirut.
Money-Saving Tips
- Shoulder seasons on travel to reduce the room prices and escape crowded pricing at key destinations and resort communities.
- Board intercity buses and shared taxi; they are the most affordable techniques to travel between the popular hubs within the region.
- Focus on local food markets and budget fares; food prices in the city go down considerably when one does not have to rely on foreign outlets and tourist destinations.
- Offer city or country passes with package attractions where possible to lower the cumulative admission costs on heritages circuits.
Planning Notes
Currency variations, fuel costs, and local taxes can alter the order of the budget rankings and therefore before getting a final itinerary, one should check the prevailing city level cost estimates. The wider Middle East selections of the country list are usually beyond the Arab League and thus, ensure you are covered in the country list depending on your area of focus and visa needs.
