Considering that
U.A.E. is an Islamic country, it is
a common misconception that its cities have pretty tame
nightlife. However, this
is not the case in Dubai. There are plenty of
clubs and bars attracting a lively
and diverse crowd. Most of them are located in
hotels in order to be able to
serve alcoholic drinks.
Dubai also has some interesting laws and regulations regarding clubs: all clubs
must be closed at 3 am, if you want to drink alcohol you cannot be under 21
years old, you can’t be under 25 if you wish to enter a nightclub. Also, clubs
are not allowed by law to refuse entrance to anyone, including members only
clubs. This does not mean that anybody will be able to walk into any members
club free of charge, considering that numerous members clubs have very high
entrance fees, which a person still has to pay, regardless of the law.
Most of the bars in town have live music and deejay. There are also a few jazz
bars, and several piano lounges with first-rate live performers. Bars start
filling up around 9 pm, while nightclubs mostly stay empty until 11 pm. Many
places have Ladies Nights on Tuesdays.
One of the best things about Dubai is that crime is incredibly law, so it is
safe to get a cab or walk back to your hotel even in the early hours of the
morning.
