Which are the cheapest countries, closest to south east Asia costs ?
Lots of cheap hostels, cheap street food, good public transport infrastructure for traveling between cities etc.
I would like to travel for a few weeks/months and mainly not in tourist areas.
How does Turkey compare in price to Egypt and Morocco?
I think Egypt and Morocco are culturally very interesting, but I'm worried about harassment and stress. I read that north African countries are the worst for this.
I'm really interested in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Lebanon. But I think these places are way more expensive. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Egypt is cheaper
Turkey is cheaper and expensive depends on your travel style
Morocco depends if you from western then it's cheap
I'm a woman for harassment pls stay away from weird places always be crowded areas don't walk alone late
And always read google reviews of the hotel you staying in
Tunisia was pretty cheap, esp in off season.
Yes, Oman is expensive.
Ranking countries I’ve been to in this area terms of cheapness 1. Egypt - you could live on less then $15 a day - it’s not always the most comfortable country to be in and if you’re a woman it can be unpleasant 2. Tunisia - very cheap also some nice cities for travel I especially liked sidi bou said 3. Morocco - good travel infrastructure and still good value 4. Turkiye - depends where you go, Istanbul has got expensive the rest of the country offers good value 5. Armenia (if you count it as Middle Eastern) - bit out the way though 6. Jordan - another great country, my favourite in the ME / NA - ideally you need to hire a car 7. Oman - 2nd favourite - need to hire a car (it’s cheap) or don’t bother 8. Uae/Bahrain
Egypt had surprisingly good intercity transport. Busses and trains.
The harassment was easily the worst I've ever experienced as a white male.
Tunisia is the most undervalued. Great times possible in the Tunis neighborhoods with friendly and open people
I'ld say the Indian subcontinent and Egypt are among the cheapest places in the world. But be aware that expenses depend a lot on where exactly you go and what you do.
