Hello,

Having access to a good nightlife scene can be a determining factor for many expats upon choosing their next destination. Tell us more about the nightlife in the United Arab Emirates.

In the United Arab Emirates, what is the nighlife culture like: is it common for people to go out at night? Is there a big difference between the nightlife during the weekdays and weekends?

What are the most popular evening or nighttime activities (e.g. bars, nightclubs, shows, cultural activities, etc.)?

Is it safe to venture out in the evening and at night in the United Arab Emirates?

Is there anything in particular that surprised you about the nightlife in the United Arab Emirates?

Are there any apps or websites (or any other resources) that would help in staying informed about evening and nighttime activities?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

You need license to buy alcohol from stores in Dubai.聽 For drinking at home legally not allowed. But if u buy from duty free shop you can drink at home but u need to keep the invoice in case the authority catches you. But there are many night clubs where u can go and drink but keep the invoice聽 while coming back. From outside it looks weired but actually u will enjoy this way once u r used to dubai life style. And as everywhere u cannot drive while being drunk.
