The Angkor Botanical Garden is one of the top tourist locations in the city of Siem Reap and a true heaven for flora lovers. The park consists of five different gardens that collectively boast over 500 plant and flower species, making a single visit insufficient to take in the entire place.

The garden also allows tourists to try their hand at archery for as low as one dollar. This makes for quite a good activity, especially for beginners who’d just like to give it a shot. But wait, there’s more! You’ll get the shot for free if you manage to shoot ten points, giving you something to brag about.

Cairo Tower is the tallest building in North Africa to this day, and offers a beautiful panoramic view of the capital city of Egypt, Cairo. The tower’s architecture takes most of its inspiration from ancient Egyptian designs and is supposed to represent a lotus, a flower holding great significance in the country.

While tickets to the tower are not cheap, you can do something quite interesting there for as little as a dollar. A pharaoh (obviously not a real one) will come up to you to offer some spiritual fortune and also a pharaonic analysis. The latter is where your name is converted to the pharaonic alphabet. It’s a great tourist activity to connect with local history and culture.

44. A Piece of Baklava

Est. Average Cost of Living: $1,393* (per month/family of 4)
Trying out local cuisine is everyone’s top priority as a tourist, especially if it’s something you’ve heard a lot about. The baklava is one of the most famous Turkish desserts that is available all over the world, but of course, none can match the taste of the home country.

The dessert is unique in the sense that the sweet taste comes from a thick syrup of just water, sugar, and a little lemon juice. If you’re looking to have a taste of what authentic baklava tastes like, and not just its Westernized version, you’re in luck because, on the streets of Turkey, you’ll find the sweet for as cheap as one dollar.

45. One Pair of Socks

Where: Egypt
Est. Average Income: $303*
Est. Average Cost of Living: $1,165* (per month/family of 4)
Activities and food are essential in themselves, but you can’t forget basic necessities even when you’re a tourist. The United States is a country where even the most critical of daily items tend to be pretty expensive, but such is not the case with Egypt.

You’ll manage to get a pair of socks for as low as one dollar, even though they might not be the best quality. But if you’re buying socks on your trip to Egypt, the emergency might just be big enough for you to not care about quality.

46. Five Newspapers

Where: Vietnam
Est. Average Income: $410*
Est. Average Cost of Living: $1,500* (per month/family of 4)
Those who have an interest in current affairs need their daily dose of information regardless of the place they’re in. While social media is now your best opportunity to source news, especially that from alternative sources, newspapers still hold significance.

In Vietnam, you can get five newspapers for a dollar. You may not have the time to read five daily newspapers as a tourist, so you can skip those and get one thick, glossy newspaper for the same price instead. But for locals, the deal is a steal either way.

47. One Men’s Haircut

Where: Kenya
Est. Average Income: $1,023*
Est. Average Cost of Living: $1,612* (per month/family of 4)
Kenya is one of the more developed countries in the African continent and hence, tends to be much more popular with tourists. But even by the standards of the developed world, the country is an expensive one to visit. One should expect to pay a hundred dollars per day at the very least when in the country.

But some things still remain cheap, and a men’s haircut is one of them. If you’re planning to go for a hair change during your trip, Kenyan salons will do the deed for you for just one dollar. What would a vacation be if you don’t end it with a drastic change to your hair?

48. Three Tokens of Metro

Where: Kyiv, Ukraine
Est. Average Income: $398*
Est. Average Cost of Living: $1,568* (per month/family of 4)
Transportation is one of the things you’re told to be smart about when you’re a tourist. Even for locals, using private transport like taxis can become quite expensive pretty quickly. The public transportation system comes very much in handy in these situations.

While the public transport system in Kyiv can be quite confusing at times, especially if you’re not used to it, it does tend to be very cheap. The cost of each journey is almost about 30 cents, and you can get nearly three trips down in one dollar. Although, for frequent travelers and those in the city for a longer time frame, we do recommend getting a smart transportation card instead.

While restaurants and eateries in Pakistan can be quite expensive due to the rising living costs, street food is one thing that still remains relatively cheap. It is also the main source of nourishment for many daily laborers who cannot afford to have expensive meals.
