Budget · Example A
Total for two adults
2,271.23 USD
Includes a PROVISIONAL hotel-tax reserve of 158.60 USD. Subtotal before the reserve: 2,112.63 USD. The tax is mandatory, not optional, but this is a calculated reserve — not an observed checkout total or a guaranteed maximum; replace it with the actual charges and never pay any part twice. Qualified illustration, not a checkout quote: hotel prices are dated public room-table observations in whole US dollars; deposits and unlisted extras are unknown, not zero. Hotels are ordered by observed hotel price alone, not quality. On Al Mina Street in Al Zahiya (Tourist Club area), a central-city base. Room only: all 14 breakfasts use the MTC allowance.
162.23 USD per person per ground day

Provisional hotel-tax reserve (listed percentages, mandatory)
1 × 158.6 USD (stay) = 158.6 USD ≈ 158.60 USD
Source-backed: Provisional Abu Dhabi hotel-tax reserve. The room table includes 10% service and lists 5% VAT, 4% municipality fee and 4% tourism fee as excluded; we provisionally apply their 13% sum to the displayed service-inclusive room price. The abolished 15 AED room-night municipality fee is not added. The supplier's taxable base and compounding, and the exact 2027 bill, were not verified: this is a calculated reserve, not an observed hotel total or a guaranteed maximum. The taxes are mandatory, not optional; replace the reserve with the actual charges, remove anything already collected, and do not add the 10% service again.
