Cheap hotels in the Middle East

The Gulf’s big hubs are some of the world’s most popular stopovers, and winter brings a busy Arabian Gulf cruise season out of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha. Hotel prices swing widely with the seasons and big events, so the right dates and district matter as much as the hotel. Our guides show where to stay in each city, with live rates from Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com and Vrbo.

Tips for finding cheap rooms in the Middle East

• The cooler months, roughly November to March, are peak season; summer is very hot but often brings the lowest hotel rates.
• Rates can jump during major trade fairs, sporting events and holidays — check the events calendar before you book.
• Many Gulf hotels add service charges and municipality or tourism fees to the room rate; compare the full total.
• Travel conditions in the region can change; check your government’s current travel advice before booking.
