Where the money actually goes
Hotels are the biggest swing factor — the same trip runs 2–3× dearer in December versus August purely on room rates.
Attraction tickets add up fastest for families: budget ₹4,000–8,000 per person per 'big ticket' day (Burj Khalifa + a waterpark, say) and balance them with free days around the souks, beaches and fountain.
The metro is excellent and cheap; taxis are metered and honest but distances are long — the Downtown⇄Marina run alone is ~AED 60 each way.
