Here’s the 50 Cheapest Cities in the World To Backpack in 2017
Price of Travel have put together a “Backpacker Index” which breaks down the costs of visiting cities around the world. This research was formulated via the following elements;
- One night in the cheapest bunk at the least expensive hostel with a good location and good reviews.
- Two public transportation rides per day.
- One paid/famous attraction per day (Every city is loaded with free things to do for budget-conscious travelers, but here we take the average cost of a major attraction in each city for each day.).
- Three “budget” meals per day.
- Three cheap, local beers each day as an “entertainment fund.” Non-drinkers might have dessert and coffee or attend a local music performance instead, so this is a general benchmark that should be proportional for each city.
While this data is meant for backpackers and budget travelers, the proportions will be nearly identical, so the list should also be useful to those with more money to spend. Here are the top 50 cheapest cities to visit in 2017.

I can say, he is not only a very good driver and knowledgable guide, he is now a friend too. He took me where I needed to go and then some. He has friends all over and made my experience a wonderful one. He knew exactly what I wanted to see and photograph and never failed to show me a beautiful location, a good spot for picking up gifts or where to get free wifi.
He also advised on the right amount to tip people too so I was fair and not ripped off, and spoke in Arabic or Berber where I needed help.
My Sahara Experience was a magical one and I cannot recommend this company enough. The car was a Toyota Landcruiser that was very comfortable and spacious. It was also super fun in the sand dunes.
I look forward to having a mint tea with Khalid again and having another Sahara Experience.
