Dubai's evenings have a personality of their own, with a temperament so unlike that of the city's daytimes that it seems like a whole new place altogether! Here are five things you must check out when in Dubai to get a real taste of its nightlife.
Dubai's club scene is truly spectacular, attracting people from all over the globe. All kinds of nightclubs can be found here from luxury to edgy, and on Friday nights, you'll be spoiled for choice! White Dubai is an ultra-modern nightclub with a massive dance floor and BASE Dubai is a large open-air venue that is one of the best night clubs around.
A midnight Shawarma run is required for a real taste of Dubai nightlife. The Lebanese eateries, which offer this delectable meat wrap until the early hours of the morning are the places people often head to for late-night shawarmas. People often park their vehicles along the sidewalk, while waiters receive orders from passing vehicles. Aroos Damascus and Reem al Bawadi are among the finest locations for late-night Shawarmas. Also, if you're looking for a luxury hotel in Dubai that offers excellent local cuisine, you can check out places like Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate Dubai.
Given the excellent roads, street lighting, and well-organised traffic, late-night drives in Dubai is a delight. Late-night trips are particularly enjoyable since there is less traffic, great music on the local radio, gorgeous roads to travel on, and a brilliant metropolis to view at night. Al Mamzar, a place where a creek separates Dubai and Sharjah is a popular place to head to. The Corniche here attracts people for late-night strolls. Filli Café, located just across from this bustling spot, serves excellent masala chai to round off your late-night journey.
The Dubai Marina, located in the city's newest section, is a shoreline dotted with boats, speedboats and yachts. Several European-styled cafés line the promenade, which is bustling with activity all night long. Families and friends take in the lights from the high buildings, which are wonderfully reflected in the crystal blue seas. This is an absolutely beautiful way to see Dubai's vibrant nightlife. And guess what! It is family-friendly too, making it all the more ideal!
What is a vacation to Dubai without a few drags from the sheesha pipe? Despite the fact that Dubai is home to many booming nightclubs and a thriving food and beverage scene, many folks still choose to spend their nights in calmer sheesh cafes, which often feature multiple television screens telecasting live sports events. In addition, they often offer video games, pool tables, board games and lounge chairs for spending a relaxing evening with your pals. Also available are a variety of flavours of sheesha (or hookah, as it is more popularly known) to choose from. In Dubai, this is customary of a night out, and it is fun, particularly when done in excellent company!
