Below is a ready-to-book 7-day Middle East trip you can take from Doha (Qatar) focused on affordable, low‑hassle travel inside the Gulf (UAE + one easy day-trip). I assume you’re departing from Doha (Hamad Intl, DOH). I include sample cheap flight options, budget hotel suggestions (with typical nightly rates), daily plans, estimated costs, and booking tips. If you want I can swap cities, change dates, or search live fares for exact dates you give — otherwise use these as a practical, low-cost template.

Quick notes about prices and timing

• Short regional flights (Doha ⇄ Dubai/Abu Dhabi/Muscat) are frequent and often inexpensive on budget carriers such as flydubai, Jazeera Airways and Air Arabia — typical one-way promotional fares from Doha to Dubai start around QAR ~750–900; round‑trip promo fares are often under QAR 1,000 if you book early. (flydubai.com)
• Budget 3-star hotels in Dubai commonly list rooms from roughly USD 25–80 / ~QAR 90–300 per night depending on area and how far ahead you book (examples: Ibis / Rove / smaller Deira hotels). (dubaihotelsoffers.com)
• For best savings: book flights and hotels at least 3–6 weeks before travel, check low-cost carriers’ own sites for seat sales, and use meta-search (Kayak/Skyscanner) to compare. (See booking tips at the end.)

7-day itinerary (sample, day-by-day — depart from Doha)

Day 1 — DOH → DUBAI: arrive, settle in

• Morning: Fly Doha → Dubai (1h 10m). flydubai frequently offers daily direct flights and promotional one-way fares; departures cover most of the day. Example promo fares often start around QAR 750–900 one-way. (flydubai.com)

• Evening: Walk the Dubai Creek / Al Fahidi Historic Neighbourhood, dinner at a local restaurant or food souk.

Suggested hotels (Dubai, budget)

• Ibis Styles Dubai Jumeira or Ibis Styles Dubai Airport — modern chain budget rooms from roughly USD 28–50/night on many booking sites. Good value for tourists. (Momondo.com)

• Morning: Dubai Mall / Burj Khalifa (book timed ticket online in advance).
• Afternoon: La Mer or JBR beach, or visit Gold/Souq in Deira.
• Evening: Fountain show + explore Souk Al Bahar; if you want nightlife, Dubai Marina has many budget eateries.

Day 3 — Dubai: desert or culture

• Option B: Museums and Alserkal Avenue arts district; evening Dhow cruise on Dubai Creek.

Day 4 — Dubai → ABU DHABI (day trip or overnight)

• Morning: Bus or shared transfer to Abu Dhabi (~1.5–2 hours by road) or a short flight (less common; road is cheaper). Visit Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the Corniche.
• Overnight in Abu Dhabi (budget options exist, or return to Dubai at night).

Day 5 — Abu Dhabi → Ras Al Khaimah or Al Ain (choose one)

• Option A: Ras Al Khaimah beach + optional Jebel Jais mountain activities (good if you want scenery and outdoor activities).
• Option B: Al Ain (UNESCO heritage sites, Al Ain Oasis) — reachable by road; calmer, less crowds.
• Return to Dubai for the night (or stay local if you prefer shorter travel).

Day 6 — Relax / flexible day in Dubai

• Shop local markets, take an inexpensive Abra ride across Creek, or visit Miracle Garden / IMG Worlds (seasonal).
• Book a final desert or city evening activity you missed.

Day 7 — DUBAI → DOH: return

• Morning relax; afternoon transfer to DXB and fly back to Doha.
• If you have an evening flight, squeeze in last-minute shopping or a café visit.

Estimated budget (per person, affordable baseline)

• Flights (round-trip Doha ↔ Dubai): QAR ~900–1,200 if you catch a promo; otherwise QAR 1,200–1,800. (flydubai shows promotional one-way fares from QAR ~750; round-trip promos often under QAR 1,000–1,200 with advance purchase). (flydubai.com)
• Hotels (6 nights budget): USD 25–80/night → USD 150–480 (~QAR 550–1,750) depending on hotel/area and season. Examples of sub‑$50/night options appear in budget hotel lists. (dubaihotelsoffers.com)
• Local transport & activities: QAR 200–600 (metro, buses, half-day desert safari or day trips).
• Daily food (budget): QAR 40–120/day if you eat in local cafés and casual restaurants.
• Rough total (budget traveler): QAR ~2,000–3,500 (USD ~550–960) excluding shopping; mid-range: QAR ~3,500–6,000.

Quick booking & saving tips

• Book low-cost carriers directly when you find a seat sale (flydubai frequently lists low fares on its site). Check flydubai’s route page for Doha→Dubai to confirm current promos. (flydubai.com)
• Compare hotel meta-sites (Booking, Momondo, Kayak) and check brand sites (Ibis, Rove) — sometimes the brand site has the lowest non‑refundable rate. Example: Ibis options in Dubai show deals on several aggregator sites for under USD 40 in low season. (Momondo.com)
• Use buses and Dubai Metro for cheap intra-city travel — taxis are convenient but cost more.
• If you want to include Amman/Petra (Jordan) or Muscat (Oman) instead of Abu Dhabi/Ras Al Khaimah, I can produce an alternate 7-day plan with flight & hotel price checks.

Safety/entry notes

• Check visa requirements before booking. UAE entry rules for Qatar residents are straightforward; some nationalities get visa on arrival — verify with official government sites or airlines when you book.
• Flight schedules and fares change quickly; use the airline site and a reputable aggregator to lock fares once you find a price you like.

If you want I can:

• Check live fares/hotel availability and produce exact total cost for specific travel dates (give me your preferred travel dates).
• Build an alternative 7-day plan (e.g., Doha → Amman → Petra → return) with sample low-cost carriers and hotels.
