Top 15 Countries Where One Dollar Can Actually Get You Something

What 1 Dollar Will Buy You Around The World? Are you a fan of travel, silly question- who isn’t? Jetting off to an unknown land is one of the best ways to rejuvenate your distressed soul! But not everyone’s pocket allows them to book into the sea-view suite of a 7 star hotel! Many of us look out for bargain offers because traveling on a shoestring budget is no joke. Imagine you splurged on cocktails at that fancy bar in the posh area of the city, went over budget and are now struggling with the last few dollars. Not a situation you would want to end up into but maybe knowing what you can get in a dollar would help! Number 1. Tanzania Known for its vast wilderness areas, Tanzania is an east African country that houses the Kilimanjaro National Park. You’ll have to part with a dollar in exchange for a famous delicacy called chipsi mayai. This is a yummy potato-egg omelet, fulfilling and tasty- just what you need when you are low on cash but high on hunger! Number 2. Italy The European country with its long Mediterranean coastline is known for its high fashion approach and beautiful cities. And you would obviously want to see Rome and the Vatican because why not? But if stuck on the streets of Italy with just a dollar with you, there isn’t much you can get. A cup of espresso can be managed and even though it looks meagre, it is one hell-a coffee! Number 3. USA Lounging on a lazy day in NYC is incomplete without pizza but if you have already burned a hole in your pocket after the weekend party, you will starve! Okay, that was harsh and untrue! Can’t promise you an entire pizza for sure but for a dollar you can get a single slice. Let’s just say, something is better than nothing! Number 4. Egypt The pyramids of Giza probably tempted you to head to Egypt for your vacation but with limited money in the pocket, you are having a hard time. For about a dollar you can get a can of tuna or a medium koshari plate that can keep you satiated for a while. This dish of lentils, macaroni and rice is filling and the topping of fried onions, chickpeas and tomato sauce will trigger your taste buds, value for money! Number 5. Malaysia If you’ve ever seen Malaysia tourism ads on Television you probably craved to head to this Southeast Asian country.

Don’t be confused, you are lucky because a single dollar can get you a dozen eggs, yay! Number 6. Peru Of course you had to travel to the South American country of Peru because the ancient city of Machu Picchu is worth a visit! But from fun to frightening, the place can change instantly if you are broke! But don’t worry, with just a dollar you can enjoy aji de gallina. It is a classic dish of chicken in mild creamy sauce thickened with breadcrumbs and ground nuts. You’ll get it with rice and/or boiled potatoes, so yes it’s fulfilling! Number 7. UAE Let’s specifically talk about Dubai, the wonder land where all the cool things are happening.

China The most populated country in the world is also incredible in its own right! Grasslands, desert, mountains, lakes, rivers, what’s not in this country?
