Discount cards that save you money on attractions can make your travel budget last a little longer. Now Go City: Dubai Explorer Pass has been launched, a card that allows you to save more than 50 percent on experiences in the city.

Looking to see the view from the Burj Khalifa, go on a desert safari, take a dinner cruise and maybe swim in the cool water park Aquaventure at Atlantis?

Comment

This is a new discount card for Dubai. We at All About Dubai haven't tested it ourselves, but when we compare prices it looks like a good deal for those planning to experience Dubai's sights and attractions.

Please note that the price comparison is based on the exchange rate between AED and SEK in August 2018.

Are there any alternatives?

Unlike other major cities, discount cards are a fairly new phenomenon in Dubai. But there is a simpler, and cheaper, alternative called City Card Dubai.

The card has a different structure where you get discounts in different forms, such as two people only paying for one.
