Nightlife in Dubai

Dubai has a lively after-dark scene. Hotel bars range from sophisticated cocktail lounges to typically informal British and Irish pubs and Western-style lounges. Most of them serve food and many feature pianists, guitarists, duos and bands nightly.

After-dinner travelers can dance to the latest sounds in a number of hotel nightclubs, each with their own ambience.

For a more exotic experience, there are several excellent Middle Eastern nightclubs featuring Arab singers and dancers.

Elsewhere, talented acts from all over the world provide lively international entertainment at many venues.

Dubai increasingly attracts top names from the world of entertainment. These include popular singers and entertainers from both West and East.

Stage plays from London tour regularly, as do major dance groups from Europe and Asia, while ballet and opera companies from around the world are regular visitors to the emirate.
