Dubai Nightlife

Nightlife

Dubai has officially landed on the list of top international nightlife destinations. No matter what time of year, you can always depend on a handful of world-famous DJs and musicians performing here regularly. Last call is no later then 3am, although some close earlier. Although homosexuality is considered more a crime here, there is an active gay scene. Still, this is more then a clubber’s playground – those longing for romance also have a handful of choices. Since most of the people living in Dubai are foreigners, most bars and clubs are populated with people from around the world.
