Tips

To stay within your $5,000 budget, consider booking flights and hotels early for potential discounts. If you have more time, extending your stay will allow for additional activities like visiting Abu Dhabi or taking a yacht tour. For a shorter trip, prioritize your favorite sites and reduce time spent on shopping or relaxed beach days.
