Dubai Nights

Renowned for its wealth of attractions and even wealthier residents Dubai is a hotbed of things to do. Whether you’re taking in the impossible heights of the Burj Khalifa or marveling at the Dubai Aquarium’s inhabitants there’s something for everyone to enjoy. But what happens when the sun goes down, where do you go from there? Clubbing we suppose…

Year on year Dubai’s nightlife becomes increasingly more diverse and having just wrapped up the Dubai Music Week, which hosted Jason Derulo, Ellie Goulding and Thirty Seconds to Mars the city continues to branch out into new ventures.

With a variety of nightclubs, bars and events around the city waiting for you to sample what they have to offer we’ve very kindly listed some of the best so you can dive straight in. Before you don your trunks we should inform you of a couple of things. To get yourself liquored up you’ll need to be 21 (25 in some places) and clubs are required by law to close at 3am. Got it? Let’s get stuck in.

Neos

For something that lives and breathes Dubai you need to head to Neos. With spectacular views of the Burj Khalifa and surrounding area you’ll be able to pretend your jaw hangs slack because of the views and not the prices. Still, if you’re feeling particularly flush why not splash out, they’re some of the best cocktails Dubai has to offer.

Kasbar

If you’re after something authentic but less flash and overpriced then Kasbar has you covered. Loved by locals and expats alike Kasbar packs the colour and liveliness of the city into three floors of entertainment. Beautiful traditional Arabic decorations house a sea of bright lights that hum to the beats of Dubai’s finest DJs well into the early hours of the morning.

Boudoir

Last but not least is Boudoir and as the name suggests we’d advise you go dressed to the nine’s to keep up with the regulars, glamourous doesn’t quite do the place justice. With its distinctive French-meets-baroque décor and running theme nights Boudoir packs about as much fun as you could hope to have on a night out in Dubai. What’s more ladies, go on a Tuesday and you can drink free champagne all night, just don’t make them regret such a generous offer.
