Dubai: 6 breakfasts for under Dh20 - quick, cheap, and delicious

If making breakfast feels like too much effort this morning, don’t worry — Dubai’s food scene has you covered. Whether you’re craving something savory, sweet, or spicy, you can enjoy a satisfying morning meal without spending more than Dh20. From classic parathas to cheesy manaeesh and hearty dosas, here are six wallet-friendly breakfast spots to kick-start your day.

Al Mallah A Dubai favourite for years, Al Mallah’s famous garlic and cheese manaeesh is the perfect blend of soft, crispy, and irresistibly cheesy. This Lebanese flatbread is an absolute morning delight — simple, fresh, and flavour-packed. You’ll find other varieties across the city, but this one is a must-try. Price: From Dh10 When: Sat–Thurs: 7am–2am | Fri: 9am–2am Where: 2nd of December Street, Dubai

Food Masti If you wake up with a serious appetite, head to this vibrant Karama spot. The breakfast menu includes Indian favourites like dosa served with chutneys and curries, and paratha paired with spiced gravies. Add a cup of hot kadak chai and you’ve got yourself a morning feast. Price: Around Dh10 When: Daily, 7am–11am Where: Karama

Khau Galli For those who love variety, Khau Galli’s unlimited breakfast is unbeatable. From steaming hot idlis to chole bhature and stuffed parathas, you can enjoy endless refills for just Dh20. It’s a lively spot perfect for weekend mornings with friends. Price: Dh20 When: 8am–11am Where: Karama and Cluster T, JLT

McDonald’s Sometimes, comfort food hits the spot. The McDonald’s Big Breakfast — complete with a McMuffin, scrambled eggs, and sausage — is a quick and hearty option for those on the go. Ideal for a busy weekday start. Price: Dh19 When: 5am–11am Where: Various branches across Dubai

Saravanaa Bhavan Known for its authentic South Indian cuisine, this restaurant delivers an impressive spread of idlis, dosas, and chutneys — all freshly made and budget-friendly. It’s the go-to place for a light yet flavourful breakfast. Price: From Dh17.50 When: From 7am onwards Where: Karama

Raju Omelet If eggs are your morning staple, this place takes them to another level. The menu features creative dishes like gotala (grated boiled eggs in a spiced mix) and Shakshouka simmered in tomato gravy. Bold flavours, great textures, and prices under Dh20 make it a must-visit. Price: From Dh18.50 When: From 8.30am Where: Cluster T, JLT

Whether you’re after a grab-and-go meal or an unlimited breakfast plate, Dubai’s affordable morning spots make it easy to eat well without overspending. With options starting as low as Dh10, a good breakfast in the city is never far away — or out of budget.

近年、オンラインの仕事が働き方の常識を変えています。日本でもリモートワーク普及率が3年で2倍に拡大し、スキルさえあれば自宅で国際的な収入を得られる環境が整ってきました。時間や場所に縛られない働き方は、子育て世代や地方在住者にとって特に魅力的です。本記事では、オンラインの仕事の最新トレンドと成功のコツを徹底解説します。多様化するオンラインの仕事の形態​​オンラインの仕事は「雇用型」と「自立型」の2系統に大別されます。企業に所属しながら自宅勤務するリモートワークは、日本ではシステムエンジニアやWebデザイナー職種が中心。対してフリーランスプラットフォームを活用する自立型は、ライティングや動画編集など個人の専門性を直接売り込める点が特徴です。注目すべきは副業解禁の影響で、日本企業の37%がリモートアルバイトを導入。データ入力やSNS運用など、未経験者向けのオンラインの仕事も急増しています。クラウドソーシング大手のランサーズ調査では、日本人フリーランスの平均月収が28万円に達するなど、収入面でも十分な可能性を秘めています。​​オンラインの仕事がもたらす3大メリット​​第一に「時間の最適化」が挙

少人数婚が選ばれている理由
近年、少人数で行う結婚式を選ぶカップルが増えています。以前のように多くのゲストを招くスタイルではなく、家族や親しい人だけで行う形式が注目されています。少人数婚が支持される理由の一つは、費用をコントロールしやすいことです。招待人数が少ない分、料理や会場規模を調整しやすく、全体の予算を抑えやすくなります。また、ゲスト一人ひとりと向き合える点も魅力です。形式にとらわれず、会話や食事を大切にできるため、「本当に記憶に残る式だった」と感じる人も多いようです。さらに、準備の負担が比較的軽いことも、選ばれている理由の一つです。忙しい中でも無理なく進められるため、精神的な負担が少なくなります。少人数婚は「簡素」ではなく、密度の高い結婚式。自分たちの価値観に合った形を選ぶ動きが、今後も続いていくと考えられます。
