Nightlife Dubai: a city in constant development, dominated by futuristic skyscrapers and unbridled luxury. The futuristic metropolis of the United Arab Emirates has a lot to offer in terms of nightlife, with its trendy rooftop bars, beach clubs and mega nightclubs. The ultimate guide to Dubai's best nightclubs and bars.
Dubai nightlife
Located in the middle of the Persian Gulf, Dubai is undoubtedly one of the most modern and wealthiest cities in the UAE . This metropolis is a succession of futuristic skyscrapers, hotels, huge shopping centers, with shops, parks, swimming pools and even indoor artificial ski slopes, where you can ski even when it's forty degrees outside! Dubai is a paradise of glitz and unbridled luxury, and all of this is also reflected in its incredible nightlife , catapulting the city into the world's top ten destinations for nightlife!
Thanks to the booming and strong tourism of around 20 million visitors a year, Dubai has become the favorite destination for businessmen and wealthy tourists who flock to Dubai's many nightclubs . The metropolis of the United Arab Emirates offers a huge choice of spectacular ultramodern bars and clubs that compete with each other and regularly host evenings with the most famous international DJs. Extravagant and excessive, Dubai's nightlife offers the right kind of environment for a unique yet wild experience.
Most of Dubai's bars and nightclubs are located within hotel complexes , the only establishments that can serve alcohol. Although the consumption of alcohol on the street is strictly prohibited, in Dubai it is possible to drink freely in the various nightclubs. The legal drinking age in Dubai is 21 and nightclubs often adhere to this rule very strictly. Visitors only need to show their passport at the entrance, while for residents an identity card or driving license is sufficient. Some clubs only allow entry to people aged 25 and over, so it's a good idea to check before planning an evening. If you plan to drink, make sure you take a taxi back to your hotel - the Emirates have zero tolerance for drunk driving and if the police catch you, go straight to jail.
By law, discos can only remain open until 3.00. Most people arrive around 10-11pm and the busiest time is usually around 1am, so keep these times in mind when planning your night out, as after 3am it is impossible to find an open nightclub .
While many bars have a fairly open attitude towards the dress code, the most exclusive clubs in Dubai usually apply a strict selection at the entrance : very popular shirts or elegant and fashionable dresses for men, while for women miniskirts and short dresses . You will hardly enter if you come dressed in jeans or worse in shorts and flip flops. The bouncers can decide whether or not to let you in based on your attire or the number of people in the group (especially if you are just men). Better to show up at the entrance in small groups and in the company of a few girls to have more chances to enter.
In any case, to enter the most popular nightclubs in the city you will have to be on the guest list , especially if there is some special event: you can often register for the evening or event directly from the club's website or facebook. Another way to guarantee your entry to Dubai's nightclubs is to reserve a table, but the prices are very high (around 2000 AED per group, bottle included). However, during the low season the various clubs have less restricted selections and it is easier to be admitted.
The crowd varies from club to club, but mostly consists of a mix of Eastern and Western descent revelers of all ages. The most popular evenings in Dubai take place on Thursday and Friday nights , as Thursday marks the end of the working week and Friday and Saturday are the weekend for most Dubai workers. Every Tuesday, however, there is the evening dedicated to women , during which women can enter for free in a large number of bars and nightclubs in Dubai and can take advantage of discounts and complimentary drinks. An evening not to be missed if you want to make new acquaintances and friends, considering that the nightclubs in Dubai are teeming with many beautiful women , especially Russian.
Where to go out at night in Dubai
Dubai does not have a real historical center or an area dedicated to night entertainment where bars and discos are concentrated. The district with the greatest nightlife is that of Medinat Jumeirah , a residential and hotel area where there are numerous bars and nightclubs where luxury and glitz are the masters. The streets within the complex are reminiscent of the atmosphere of a traditional market, which is why the area is also called the “Madinat Souk” and is very busy on weekends.
Another nice place to go out in the evening is the Dubai Marina , located along an artificial canal and boasting an array of restaurants, cafes and boutiques. This neighborhood is ideal for couples who want to take a long romantic stroll, and then relax in one of the restaurants that offer spectacular views of Dubai's canal and skyscrapers. The place is also equipped with jogging tracks and bike paths, thus making it ideal for anyone who wants to do cardio and soak up the beautiful views.
For a night of partying on the beach, head to Nasimi Beach , a man-made beach located seven kilometers from the coast that transforms into a giant club on the weekend. During the day, however, you will find numerous pool parties with lots of music and good cocktails until late in the evening.
For a quiet evening, take a tour of the Deira , where you will find a lot of restaurants and clubs for every taste and suitable for every budget, including many bars decorated in ethnic style that offer music and flavors of different cultures. In addition, in Dubai you can find some of the best restaurants in the world , many of them located on top of skyscrapers or hotels and with magnificent views over the city: an unforgettable experience that is worth trying at least once in a lifetime.
